This new fall collection includes twenty tokens—each one taking about 30–40 minutes to create.
I started with colorful stamped ink backgrounds, layering until they held the warmth and depth of the season. Once the foundations felt right, I hand-sketched leaves, letting each line wander into its own shape.
From there, it became a slow build of textures: stained-glass paint, gloss gel, sand paste, glitter pens, and copper leaf. Finally, I outlined the leaves with thick strokes of white acrylic, raising them just enough to catch the light.
Every token holds hours of patience and presence. Small in size but dense with care.
They’re now tucked into the Ripple Station™, ready for neighbors to take and pass forward. When someone receives a token, they’re not just holding a piece of paper—they’re holding time, texture, attention, and a little bit of my fall joy.
And maybe that’s the reminder inside these leaves: so much of what we give—whether to our work, our families, or our communities—happens in layers. Much of it goes unseen. But invisible doesn’t mean unfelt.
Happy fall, y’all.
