Chance Encounters by Nat

We find what the world leaves behind.

We are scavengers. Nothing is killed for a Chance Encounters piece. We use what has already fallen, shed, been discarded, or been saved: baby teeth, dead bugs, flowers, shells, sticks, and leaves. We preserve those finds in resin and make them into something you can carry.

Every piece is different because every find is different. The marks of a particular season, walk, or place become part of its story.

The Exchange

Pricing depends on the seller and the circumstance.

At a market, it might be fifty dollars. After a show—or when a piece passes from friend to friend or stranger to stranger—it might be a ride to the airport, a promise to shop local, or picking up trash on your next walk. Ask the person who has it. See what happens.

Contact Nat.

First, you’ll have to find her.

If you see Nat wearing a piece—or meet someone who has one—ask its story. If its keeper is ready to pass it along, the two of you can decide what feels right. An encounter is an invitation, never a promise that someone will part with what they love.

Nat is based in Las Vegas and travels often. Keep your eyes open at markets, gatherings, and wherever your paths cross. That is where the magic lives.
