Hayley Coles, Multi-Crafter

Hayley creates pagan and spiritual jewelry, wire wrapped adornments like tiaras, circlets and cuffs, wooden runes, wands, walking staves, curio coffers and cloaks.
"I have always had the creative touch, the ability to create jewelry for friends and family. I follow a Pagan path, and decided to combine my faith with jewelry. I love nature, and the woods call to me, so I began working with wood to create wands, walking staves and runes. I decided last year to do what I love as my business."

WHenn asked what she has the most fun creating, Hayley says, "I love wire wrapping, and I am still perfecting my ability. My favorite item to work on are wire masks." The jewellery Hayley makes is "uniquely pagan and spiritual". "No pagan is the same as another pagan, and as such I try to make pieces that call to anyone." Hayley crafts all of her items at home. "Each piece is crafted with love and intent, and charged by the moon."

Most of the time when working at home, Hayley has music on. it could be an upbeat playlist, or a soothing nature sounds playlist. When asked where she gets her inspiration, Hayley says, "My path and different views inspire me. Nature and the celestial bodies move me."

For Hayley, the most difficult part of the process is running out of specific pieces. 
Her Beltane mask won an artisan contest at an event, and is her all-time favourite item that she has created. 

Her business, Mystic Moon Blessings, is on Facebook. "I am a single mother of 2 young girls, so my day is filled with taking care of my kids, housecare, and some form of crafting."
Meet Hayley at The Artisan Fair on May 5th at 90 Hunter St East, between 10 and 2!
