The Colorful World of Earth Pigments
In a world where every color imaginable is available at your local art supply shop, why would anyone bother to make their own colors and binders? In a similar sense, there is something to be said about growing and cooking your own food rather than going through a drive-through to pick it up. It’s convenient. Sure. However, the connection between the processes is interrupted. We lose touch with knowing fundamental skills, and we consume food without intention. Artists have the drive to want to create regardless if the rest of the world tells them AI could do better. If this primitive curiosity to want to know where things come from and how things are made resonates with you, then look no further and read on!
Summer Honey-filled Soap Bars
Our cold process soap is made in small batches with intention and inspiration from the ever-changing seasons. This season, we take inspiration from our trip to Provence, France reminiscing the wide open fields of lavender; quiet and peaceful with a subtle hum of buzzing bees. In the famous Lavender town of Valensole, not only is lavender prevalent, but honey as well!
Spring Floral Soap Bars
This Spring season, we take inspiration from 100 year-old Magnolia trees, dainty paper-like cherry blossom flowers, and golden blooms of Calendulas representing the warmer days ahead. Our cold process soap is made in small batches with intention and inspiration from the ever-changing seasons.
