Welcome! I’m Heather Rae—artist, maker, and photographer behind this little corner of creative joy. At Made by Heather Rae, you'll find hand sewn fabric flowers that bloom in all kinds of ways: as pins, hair clips, keychains, magnets, and sometimes even as part of my repurposed creations. I love breathing new life into forgotten objects, mixing old and new to make something entirely one-of-a-kind. Every piece has a little story and a lot of heart. I'm also a fine art photographer, and my prints reflect what I’m most drawn to—beauty in the everyday, a sense of emotion, and a little bit of magic. You’ll find some of those prints here too, because this shop is where all my creative worlds come together.
And I’m not alone in this! My child is a maker too—he creates delightful faux cake boxes that double as jewelry boxes or just fun decor. I’m proud to share some of his imaginative work here alongside my own.
I follow feelings more than rules—whether I’m behind a camera or holding a needle. Most days, I’m creating with a show playing in the background—emotional support sound, as I like to call it—because I work best with the feeling that life is going on around me. My cats keep me company too, supervising or napping in the middle of everything. Thanks for stopping by and supporting handmade, heartfelt art. Whether you're here for a fabric flower, a piece of wall art, or a tiny cake box surprise—we’re so glad you’re here. – Heather Rae
