Dissonance is a concept that captures conflict and disharmony in a concise way. It refers to the clash of discordant elements, like dissonant notes in music or conflicting ideas in conversation. Dissonance exists in art, literature, and our daily lives, reminding us of the complexities and contrasts of the world.

It urges us to embrace and explore the tension.

I make items with my own hands - flesh and bone. Handmade just for you. There may be others that are similar, but yours is unique to you. And whether it was a custom commission or an in-stock item, the same amount of care and attention was given to the creation.

I want items to last for as long as you need them and find them valuable. I'd much rather provide you with one item that lasts for 10 years of daily use, instead of 10 items that will last for a year before it falls apart.

I only use high quality materials which lend themselves to lasting the test of time. If I don't think it's going to last for a long time, I don't use it. But just like tattoos, quality materials and craftsmanship aren't cheap, and cheap materials and poor craftsmanship don't last. But if you do ever find that the item isn't meeting your expectations, just let me know. No need for a hokey "lifetime guarantee" or referring to Dissonance as "we" or "us." I'm the maker, and I guarantee it. Thank you again for the trust.
