🔥Leatherwork from the Forge
The Iron Leaf Bag is entirely handmade using high-quality leather from a Canadian supplier, with hand-forged buckles and a decorative iron leaf. After a few sales, people asked: Do you have a matching wallet? We do — in brown or a green "Leaf" version. More to come!

Introducing Troll Cross Forge & Leatherworks 🔥✨️
With a small forge in our backyard workshop, Nick quickly learned the basics and started crafting works of magick. With hand-forged iron accents on leather bags, he blends both crafts into unique pieces. Can’t wait to share his winter creations!

I saved the best for last — electroforming! This process uses an electrical current to coat non-metal objects with copper, turning forest finds into wearable magick. My favorites are Enchanted Forest Crystals. Canadian phantom quartz adorned with mushrooms and more. Pure alchemy magick!

Lake Huron Orgonite ✨Started as a way to use leftover gemstones and became a magickal creation. Made with resin, metal, crystals, beach sand, and shells, each piece is cleansed in the lake. Orgonite is believed to balance energy, reduce stress, and promote well-being. Have you ever felt its energy?

Mushroom & Crystal Gardens
Tiny enchanted worlds with handmade clay mushrooms, unique crystals, planted in moss. Sometimes realistic, sometimes pure fantasy — often glowing in the dark. Protected under glass, they've housed dragons, spirits, and even Deadpool. The newest version? The Mushroom Fae.

It all started with found treasures — old watches in dusty drawers and forgotten charms on sidewalks. We couldn’t let them stay lost to time, so we turned them into
The Clockwork Collection: one-of-a-kind jewellery where past and present collide. A little lost time, turned timeless magick.

The Copper Tree Necklace was my first creation — made from recycled copper wire and gemstones, inspired by Celtic lore. It symbolizes connection to nature, the heavens, and each other. Available in two sizes, with special editions like The Family Tree!

At Nocturnal Forest, we believe in magick, creativity, and the beauty of forgotten treasures. We upcycle antique watch parts, forest finds, and trinkets into something meaningful and enchanted. Every piece has a past—we help shape its future. What’s something old or unexpected that you treasure? ✨

Welcome to our workspace! We create from our home in Saugeen Shores, Ontario—my studio is downstairs (but I take over every flat surface in the place), Nick’s space is for leatherwork and right now, cacti. The Forge is out back. It’s small but full of magick!! We couldn't ask for more!

Meet Memphis—our supervisor, cuddle bug, and assistant mushroom hunter! This almost 4-year-old Boxer/Bulldog loves comfy blankets, dino toys, and collecting socks (and rubber pig noses from past toy destruction!). He’s friendly with squirrels—unless they run, then it’s game on!

Meet Nick—my husband, partner-in-magick, and the newest member of Nocturnal Forest! He runs Troll Cross Forge, crafting blacksmith and leatherwork pieces. A land surveyor by day, he’s also a musician, DJ, and cactus collector. Fun fact: He built a mini working pool table!

Meet the crew: Hi, I’m Rex! (Okay, it’s Kristen, but everyone calls me Rex.) I’ve always been creating from papier-mâché to copper, resin, clay and more. When I’m not at my workbench, I’m in the woods chatting with crows and booping mushrooms. Fun fact: I raise and release Monarch butterflies!

Before Nocturnal Forest, I was creating under ROAR by Rex. One night, inspiration struck—I started crafting tiny nighttime scenes from collected mushrooms and ferns. The name Nocturnal Forest hit like a spark. It wasn’t just a name; it was a world where I belonged. Everything has grown from there.
