Hello, and welcome

I'm Brooke Elaine — I make things by hand.

Mandalas, mostly. I draw them as original artwork and as coloring books, and I root Golden Pothos plants one jar at a time. Different crafts, one stubborn habit: I'd rather make something carefully than make a lot of it.

I started all of this to manage my anxiety. Drawing mandalas and tending plants are both slow, repetitive, one-small-thing-at-a-time work, and that turns out to be what settles me. Now I make them for other people too — the artwork ships anywhere, and the plants stay close to home in Normal, Illinois.

The Golden Pothos care guide

A 21-page beginner's guide to keeping a water-grown pothos alive and actually growing — light, water, feeding, troubleshooting, propagation, and moving it to soil.

It comes free with every plant I sell. If you found your way here without one, you can have it anyway.

Questions

The things people ask

What do you actually sell?

Right now: original mandala art and other creative designs, and hand-rooted Golden Pothos plants in decorative glass jars. The coloring books I draw are still being put together — there's a waitlist for those. I am nearly always making something new, so that list grows.

Do you ship plants?

No — plants are pickup only, in Normal, Illinois. The jars hold water and stones, which does not survive shipping in any way I'd be happy to put my name on. Artwork ships anywhere.

Where do I buy the artwork?

Straight from me. Every original is one of a kind, so rather than a shop front there's a conversation — tell me which piece you're after through the contact page or by message, and I'll sort it from there. The coloring books aren't ready to buy yet.

Do you take commissions?

Sometimes. It depends what else is on the table that month, so the honest answer is to ask me and I'll tell you what's open.

How do I get the free plant guide?

Join the email list and it's yours — grab it here. Every plant I sell already comes with a copy.
