Wren - long ahh text about here if you're interested:

A character I’m developing for a long form Unnamed project involving “small people”aka Minifolk, living unseen set throughout North American cities, farmlands, and forests.

Wren is a Lone, meaning she does not live in a community with other Minifolk. Typically lones are traders and travelers by choice, but Wren was displaced by a natural disaster affecting her family. Her and her family of 6 were hit by a flash flood, and in an attempt to save her father from being swept away, she herself was taken by the river miles and miles away. She believes her family was taken by the river as well.

Wren was the eldest sibling and a masterful seamstress in her home, and her family did not participate in trade between forest/city communities, rather they self sustained through farming/foraging. She lived a fairly sheltered and quiet life, so her navigation and survival skills are clumsy and mostly focused on hiding herself. She isn’t sure how long she’s been alone.

Utilizing her sewing skills, Wren crafted a cape comprised of lichen, pressed moss, and various plant matter woven together. When frightened, Wren curls up to blend in with her environment. She also repurposed her clothes to be better fitted for travel.

Wren rarely encounters other minifolk due to being so deep in the wilds, and is often too frightened to interact if she stumbles upon them. But perhaps she will find the courage to join a group of travelers?

I've made forest-folk dresses!

Patterns are hand-drawn by me from nature and then printed on the natural fabric. Later I designed the dress and in the end of pretty long journey they came to life! So excited!

Dresses itself (in very limited quantity), more photos and all the details about them are available on my Etsy

The main inspiration for me here is the term anthropoecosystem (at least existing in my native language) which, saying simply, means dependence the culture of the specific Land features. How do local biodiversity influence the folk art, how the local nature is reflected in myths and how do the landscape creates narratives? These dresses from imaginary forest people, reclusive modern green witches and herbalists, they are filled with their dark fairytales and mushroom related myths.

Making clothes is so wonderful!
