Meet the Wanderwright
A World of Wood & Wonder
Hi, I’m Kelly, the heart behind Flying Nautilus. I am a Wanderwright. I love to embrace the unknown, taking spontaneous trips and discovering inspiration along the way—letting life guide me to new places and ideas. That’s it. That’s my life, and I love it!
My journey as a creator began long before I ever realized it—in the heart of my childhood, when I first picked up a simple two-by-four and saw something else. Armed with nothing more than sandpaper, paint, and my imagination, I transformed that piece of wood into enchanted holiday scenes, each one a little piece of magic that I gave away as Christmas gifts.
From that moment on, I knew that my hands were meant to craft. There’s something truly magical about taking raw materials and turning them into something functional, yet wondrous—something that can bring joy and spark curiosity. Every piece I create, from custom clocks to whimsical fairy houses, carries that same spirit of discovery and inspiration that has fueled me since those early days.
I’m inspired daily by the world around me—by the natural beauty in wood grain, the stories waiting to be told in each new design, and the idea that the things we use every day can be artful and enchanting. As a Wanderwright, I’m always seeking new ways to bring these stories to life, infusing a sense of wonder into every handcrafted piece.
Whether you're looking for a unique piece for your home or a custom creation, I’m here to share the magic of wood and wonder with you.
