About

Crafting Nature, a project of Authentic Arts by Jenny Hoople, isa photo gallery of handmade crafts and art that are: nature-inspired, made from natural materials and/or link to nature craft DIY or other inspiring blog posts.

Jenny is a natural stone jewelry designer living in Beloit, Wisconsin with her cute little Mexican husband and the memory of their beloved pet bunny. 

The Crafting Nature gallery was inspired by Jenny’s passion for living as close to the source, to authenticity, as possible.  The closer we get to the real, the more fulfilling our experiences and our lives, whether it be through a home-baked cherry pie that you made with cherries from your own cherry tree or through a genuine amethyst and homegrown job’s tear seed necklace that was hand knotted on silk by a careful craftsperson who likes bunnies.  All of these authentic experiences combine to create a life of fulfillment and joy!
