Meet the artist

Hi, I’m Raven.

Owner of Crafty Colanah (online, I’m often called Colanah)

Creating art has been near and dear to me since I was very young. After moving to a new school in 2nd grade, I found that my drawings could help smooth the way for me to interact with others — I was a painfully shy child, and art was a means to make magical creatures, fantastical worlds, and friends.

I offer unique, handcrafted jewelry, accessories, gifts, & more! From cosplay pieces, collar charms & keychains, each piece carries a little whimsy!

Our story

Sharing lovely little things

Polymer clay miniature food charms in progress
Tiny confections, shaped by hand.

01 How it started

From a shy kid’s drawings to polymer clay

As the years passed, I explored painting, pastels, sewing, knitting, cooking, makeup and more. In June of 2018, I picked up a block of Kato polymer clay intending to shape parts for a cosplay. Sadly, I wasn’t able to make the pieces in time, and the clay seemed fated to collect dust.

In August, I decided to play around with my Kato after being inspired by makers like CreativeRachy, SugarCharmShop, SaltECrafter, Maqaroon and many others. In just a month or two, I discovered a true pleasure in shaping tiny confections and objects from polymer clay.

02 Where & how it’s made

Hand-colored polymer clay, one charm at a time

Every piece is hand colored and shaded to enhance the pure color detailing — no paint to rub off on clothing or wear away.

  1. Shape. Kato polymer clay is sculpted into tiny foods, charms and accessories.
  2. Color & shade. Each piece is hand colored so the details stay vivid.
  3. Cure. Pieces are baked so the color is part of the clay, not a surface coat.
  4. Finish. Hardware, findings and packaging turn charms into jewelry ready to wear or gift.

03 What makes it special

Three things you’ll notice

Pure color, not paint

Each charm is made with pure color detailing — so nothing rubs off on clothing or wears away with time.

A little whimsy in every piece

From collar charms and keychains to cosplay-friendly bits, every piece is meant to carry a little joy.

Made to share

Much like the shy kid who made friends through drawings, Raven hopes you’ll let her share these small pieces of art with you — online and at in-person markets.

Reviews

Kind words from customers

“Perfect little cinnamon roll charm! Very realistic and high quality craftsmanship… Super fast shipping and packaged beautifully. The back is also detailed, so it still looks realistic whenever the charm flips around. Cinnamon and I are very happy with this purchase!”

Lee

“So freaking cute! Even nicer than the photos.”

Amanda

“Love the little cream puff and it will look great on my new purse! It was packaged very well. Thanks very much!!”

Johanna

“The shop owner was really helpful. I ordered just the charm because I already have a bunch of chains at home, but the bail on the charm was too small for me to fit any of my chains through. When I contacted Raven, she sent me some jump rings right away so I could connect the charm.”

Valerie

“Absolutely beautiful charm for my phone. Seller was very kind and made small adjustments for my order as requested. Thank you so much!”

Azalea
