magical modern

who I am

My name is Chelsea, and I make the magic happen! I’m based in St. Louis, Missouri, and I love to celebrate the beauty that life has to offer.

What I make

I create whimsical home decor with a dash of fun and a touch of charm.

i believe

the world could use a little more magic

Lately on Instagram…

Designing some cute posters for fall! I've got another one featuring decorative gourds, and a third chart all about coffee. Coming soon!

Working on a new creative direction! I know I've been rather absent lately, but it's been good. I've had so many mindset shifts these past few months, and my creative motivations have changed with me! I'll tell you more about it later, but for now, I'll show you my illustrative work in progress 🥰 I'm developing a new style with lots of sweet characters, and hoping to venture into pattern design as well. This new style has already started making its way into my ceramic works in progress as well, so I'm looking forward to seeing where it takes me! #magicalmodern #wip #illustration #stlouis #stlartist

Pretty bowls waiting for their perfect new home 🥰 @rfhomeco #magicalmodern #stoneware #foodstyling #handmade #stlartist #handmadeinstl #instapottery #handcraft #pottery #handmadeisbetter #instaart #ceramics #shopsmall #homedecor #supporthandmade #handmadepottery #stlouis #stl #madeinstl #stlouisgram

Fresh mugs are finished today! They go perfectly with my own collection and I kind of want to keep them all. For now, they're headed to @rfhomeco for today's New Vendor Launch! Lots of new vendors and new goodies, including a restock from me on scoops, bowls, and these new beauties. Yay! #magicalmodern #handmade #stlartist #handmadeinstl #handcraft #instapottery #pottery #handmadeisbetter #flashesofdelight #pursuepretty #instaart #coffee #mug #mugshot #mugshotmonday #ceramics #shopsmall #supporthandmade

Excited to be trying out some mug designs! I collect handmade mugs but have never made them...so I decided to give it a try 😊 we'll see where this leads! They'll be speckled after final firing. #magicalmodern #handmade #stlartist #handmadeinstl #handcraft #instapottery #pottery #handmadeisbetter #flashesofdelight #pursuepretty #instaart #ceramics #petitejoys #mugshotmonday #wip #workinprogress

She's got the whole world in her hands 🌍 Fabulous, bold, bohemian lovelies, new at @rfhomeco today! I love these.

More work in progress 😊 just threw together a little spur of the moment peacock spoon rest at the end of my studio day. #magicalmodern #wip #stlartist #ceramics #pottery

New work in progress 🥰 these are going to be wall-hanging pieces, and are meant to hold an air plant.

Had the best time yesterday at the Grow pop up hosted by @thewomenscreative! So much community love and support...it was magical to be a part of it! @fiddleheadferncafe was packed all day long, slinging AMAZING coffee and the most delicious toast I've ever had. So many lovely humans came out and supported us ladies doing our part to add a little love and magic to the world. It was awesome. I went home with a lot less than I brought, which is always a great feeling 🥰 I still have this planter, with which I'm totally smitten 😍 it's the perfect shape for an aloe or snake plant. Those little embroidery stitches are made of tiny little clay coils, each applied slowly and carefully by hand, then painted individually with glaze. I added gold to a few here and there, and the entire top rim is covered in gold too, for good measure 😉 Thanks so much to everyone who came out, and to the awesome ladies that organized the pop up! See you July 20 at the @bowoodfarms Makers Market! #magicalmodern #stlouis #stl #stlouisgram #shopsmallstl #shopsmall #shoplocal #livelocalstl #stlcraftshow #craftshow #hamdmadeinstl #madeinstl #handmade #makers #stlartist #handmadeinstl #handcraft #instapottery #pottery #instaart #ceramics #homedecor #handmadepottery

Genuinely delighted with this work 😍 I've chosen to change things up a bit and let my creative flag fly with little to no regard for scalability and business savvy. Because I just have a feeling that that's what my contribution to this world should be...make my magic and inspire others to do the same. I hope someone likes it cuz I don't have a giant vat of llama pots waiting in the wings to save me 😅 I'm just making unique, slow, one of a kind pieces that make my heart sing. Life's too short to make the same thing over and over when you have a creative heart that gives you life, I guess 🤩 These are coming in hot TODAY at the Grow pop up from 9 to 1 at @fiddleheadferncafe!
