Guardian of the Fractured Heart Wool Hat

$265.00

I was born from four dense layers of natural grey wool—pressed, sculpted, and coaxed into form until I became both armor and offering. My brim is wide and steady, my crown tall and unwavering, yet across my front runs a web of fractures and a heart split in two. Do not mistake these lines for weakness. They are maps of survival.

I carry a quiet prayer inside my fibers: that whoever wears me will feel the solidity of my weight, the steadiness of my shape, and the permission to hold their own brokenness with dignity.

Pictured is Kaylen, the mysterious elf whose art inspired my design.  

Within me there is ancient forest magic, strength, and haunting beauty. Wrap yourself in me, and I will guard your softness while honoring every crack that shaped you.

This is a substantial, sculptural hat—5 inches tall with a 2.5-inch brim and four thick layers of natural grey wool felted into a sturdy, structured form. The design on the front resembles shattered glass surrounding a bold, broken heart, creating a striking contrast between the hat’s physical strength and the emotional fragility woven into its imagery.

This piece is part of my November 2025 series inspired by the startk lined artwork of Kaylen Cantu, who modeled the hat with her unmistakable forest-elf presence. The spirit behind this work is one of resilience: a quiet prayer that anyone who wears it will feel both protected and empowered, carrying their own brokenness as a badge of honor rather than something to hide.

Hand-washed, hand-picked, hand-dyed, and shaped entirely by me—this is a one-of-a-kind wool talisman.
