All my products: lip balms, lotion bars, and healing salves contain the beeswax from the honey extraction process and/or honey.

R Designs https://www.facebook.com/rdesigns642/
With the love of art and want to upcycle handbags, the new obsession started. Finding a variety of purses and wallets in great shape at vintage, resale and antique stores, the desire to recycle, reuse and repurpose them was strong. As an avid lover of art, thoughts were to paint famous artworks on handbags and it then evolved to adding original and art deco inspired designs to the collection. This takes artwork off the walls and allows the chance to carry around artwork (wearable, if you will). Wearable Art.

Marci Rubin Art
https://www.facebook.com/Marci-Rubin-Art-211076452259815/
Inside of sculpture, printmaking, and drawing I investigate a state of transformation, metaphorically and literally through process and materials. By working within a set parameter of alteration, reformation, abstraction and transformation, I am able to question recognizable and subconscious states of being. These questions presented in my work deal with our expectations relative to form and deformity involving the human body, and engage with familiar features of form such as proportion, scale, interior, exterior, texture and color. More specifically through sculpture, printmaking, and drawing I am investigating my relationship with the structures and systems of the body such as skin, cells, organs, digestion, reproduction, etc…
