About Us

---

We live and love the kayak life.  We live in Knoxville, KY and love adventures that involve trees, mountains, waterfalls, beaches, lakes, creeks, rivers, streams, mine sites, the wild west, and the night sky.  We admire the treasures of nature such as rocks, minerals, gemstones, fossils, driftwood, shells, and deer antler.  Those treasures inspire most of our designs.  Everything we make is attached to a memory of an amazing adventure.  We can make art from your adventure treasures as well.  

Darlene is a retired educator/administrator and current college professor with an obsession for all things wild and beautiful in nature, (oh and data). In addition to her education career, she is a certified web developer associate, artist/crafter and above all a rockhound.  Along with her adventure partners, Albert, Dane & Jorja, they gather rough, wild, and raw materials from their frequent hikes, paddles, and mining site visits. Her favorite products are her Break Your Own Geode kits, Make Your Own Rock Collection, fluorescent minerals, dinosaur fossilized teeth and coprolite (poo), and educational rock packs.  Her best selling product is from her My Cultured State line which is state shaped wall hangings with crushed  state minerals, rocks, and gemstones.
