Welcome to Harvested Creations, I'm so glad you found me :)

I’m Carly, originally from Australia, I’ve called Tucson home for nearly 20 years, where the resilience and beauty of the Sonoran desert continually inspires me. A lifelong gardener, forager, and maker, I’ve always wished there was a way to preserve the fleeting beauty of so many of nature's botanical treasures.

When I discovered resin in 2024, I immediately saw its potential to give new life to natural materials that are too fragile or ephemeral for any practical use. Since then, I’ve developed a range of preservation techniques, transforming flower petals, seeds, leaves, pods, bark and more into wearable art and gifts. Each piece showcases the natural colors, patterns, textures, and shapes that often go unnoticed in nature. I especially love to work with native plants and organic materials typically viewed as waste. Through Harvested Creations, I aim to spark connection, wonder, and a renewed sense of amazement for nature in all its expressions.

Whether you’re here to browse or seek a piece that connects you to nature or the Southwest I’m grateful for your visit. Please take your time exploring and join my email list if you’d like to be informed of new creations, upcoming markets, special events or discounts.
