Inspired by Nature, Created by Hand
Hand embroidered jewelry and keepsakes inspired by nature, vintage design, and the art of slow, intentional making.
The Story Behind the Stitch
EAO Craft Studio is a one-person studio creating hand embroidered jewelry and keepsakes inspired by nature, vintage design, and the beauty of handmade craftsmanship. Each piece is embroidered freehand, allowing the design to develop naturally through the stitching process rather than from a predetermined pattern.
Rather than recreating specific flowers, each design is an original interpretation shaped by color, texture, and intuition. Slight variations in stitching and thread dye lots are a natural part of the handmade process, ensuring that every piece is uniquely its own.
One Piece at a Time
Every piece is embroidered individually and designed to be treasured. I use archival-quality DMC embroidery threads and vintage-inspired metals such as brass, bronze, and iron, selected for their beauty, character, and ability to age gracefully.
Over time, these metals may naturally darken or develop subtle variations in color, becoming part of the story and charm of the piece. The result is a piece that celebrates both the beauty of handmade craftsmanship and the character that develops over time.
Find EAO Craft Studio in Person
While a curated selection of designs is available online, the widest variety of pieces can be found at in-person markets and events throughout the year.
Meet the Maker
I'm Lisa Brolis, the maker behind EAO Craft Studio. What began as a creative outlet amid the demands of raising young children gradually grew into something more. Embroidery became a way for me to slow down, focus my energy, and experience the satisfaction of creating something with my own hands.
What I enjoy most is the process of bringing a piece to life, completing something meaningful, and knowing it has found a home with someone who loves it. EAO Craft Studio remains a one-person small business and a creative space where I can continue to make, learn, and share that joy with others. The name EAO was created using the first initials of my three children, a simple detail that has always made the name feel uniquely my own.
