Handmade soap. Chamomille and coconut milk vegan bar.

Finally got my hands on my new silicon mold I got from Brambleberry :)

I made chamomile & coconut milk soap and I am so happy with the results...

 Chamomile soap! ready for the curing rack :)
 I made small flower samples to go with my orders and I love the way they turned out...

They will be completely cured 08/14/2011 and I will list them on my Shop, please keep tuned...

Chamomile & Coconut milk soap, vegan, gentle, exfoliating and smells divine!

I used dried/crushed chamomile leaves, rhassoul clay and aloe vera gel, along with coconut milk and skin loving vegetable oils...  loving it!

Enjoying Robin Maria Pedrero's art

I recently had the pleasure to trade my artwork with Robin Maria Pedrero's art prints.  She is a lovely lady and an exceptional artist, I love her paintings and the way she harmoniously combines the colors, always finding inspiration from nature and adding her personal and unique touch of fantasy... 

Pink Poppies in Paradise. Print.

I feel relaxed and cheerful at the same time when I see her paintings and I think that's what she wants to communicate, peace and joyfulness...

Happiness. White bird with flowers card.

 

Robin is a member of the Florida Artists Hall of Fame and an elected member of the Pastel Society of America. Capturing the spirit and energy of life in rhythmic colors, Robin uses translucent acrylic layers in her response to what catches her eyes and her heart, happily evoking moods of joy and serenity.

Garden of Love card

She is also a proud member of Unique Women in Bussines, a very supportive team of ladies that I am member of too :)

She says, “I personify nature through color and movement evoking moods of transition, whimsy, joy and serenity, expressing myself through mediums like charcoal, pastel, graphite, colored pencil, and ink used in layers with acrylic paint on various papers, wood, or canvas. I use color to emulate the energy and spirit of nature. Music and rhythm play a role in my process and seep into the movement of my creation.”

I think her paintings reflect the way she looks the world around her... it's like dreaming in colors... she found her own muse because she is obviously a person at peace with her world who love to share her art from the heart...

Thank you so much Robin, I am really enjoying my print and cards, they are like candy for my eyes :)

Love,

Susy

Butterflies collection... Recycled paper pendants....

..."There's always something beautiful to be experienced wherever you are. Right now, look around you and select beauty as your focus"....
- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

There's nothing like having in your hands recycled material and transform it in something beautiful and special...

I love butterflies... and I feel especially satisfied when I use recycled stuff on my work...

It's like something dead is coming back to life in a different way showing up its beauty from the inside...  I feel like I can see the beauty on everything...

Have a peaceful day everyone...
