Hi I’m Payten! The sole maker behind Blue Forest Customs. Every piece is designed and handcrafted by me, from preserving your flowers to creating the woodwork and adding the final finishing touches.

I’ve always been drawn to creating - as a little girl I was always painting, drawing, or wanting to help my dad build something. That early love for making never left me, it simply grew alongside me.

Being both artistic and outdoorsy, I find endless inspiration in nature and the creative process itself, and that connection is woven into everything I create. Over the years my work has naturally gravitated toward preserving and celebrating elements of the natural world - from flower preservation and river rock scenes to handcrafted wood pieces that let the material speak for itself.

What began in 2018 as a curious experiment, discovering epoxy after watching a few videos and diving in with very little knowledge, slowly evolved into something much bigger.

Today, I have the privilege of doing what once felt like a childhood dream: creating meaningful, one of a kind pieces that tell a story and hold memories in a real way. Every piece I make is approached with care, thoughtfulness, and a deep appreciation for both the materials and the stories they hold.
