Crystal Queer Creations
Crystal Queer Creations is where you’ll find creations by queercrip punk artist Kiera Toews. Creating crystal and botanical jewellery, linoprinted items (prints, stickers, patches), and hand-dipped botanical beeswax candles - all lovingly, intentionally handmade from start to finish.
Exploring themes of queer divinity and blasphemy, new life out of decay, queer history and satirical twists, and the way connection and community is magical (including with the bugs and dirt). With a focus on flora and fauna, creating designs through the lens of chronically ill queer grief + joy and honouring what they experience around them knowing they’ll return to the dirt themselves.

What's the weirdest compliment you've received for your work?
someone saw my bee stickers, said ‘I love bees!’
and told me about bees for ten minutes,
I learned a lot that I have unfortunately since forgotten
but it was fun learning about bees from someone so passionate about them
