I have a strong passion for my craft which began about 21 years ago, which I realized my talent through a friend of mine who was also a crafter.
Throughout the years I discovered that my talent expanded and I was able to create beautiful things through my imagination. My inspiration is to have my pieces in other people's homes and that in itself give me pride and pure enjoyment.
My future goals.. I hope to be able to have my own store front in the near future or an online website.
Meet Karen Sehein and Angela Wilson from Wise Soap Studio...
WiSe Soap Studio, LLC is the
collaboration of Angela Wilson and Karen Sehein, two local friends from Aurora
and Stow. Our studio creates beautiful handmade soap, lotions, and spa products
with all natural oils and butters that are luxurious and have unique benefits to
your skin. There are no detergents or chemicals in our products so you can feel
good about the purchase. Everything is made in small batches to ensure a fresh,
quality product. The creative process begins with scent followed by how that
aroma translates to design. Our customers appreciate the attention to detail
and have ultimately given us our Pretty • Natural • Soap tagline. Our lotions, balms and
body scrubs compliment the soap scents to enhance the experience.
We have done a number of Avant Garde shows in the past few
years and enjoy the unique and talented vendors. We love working with guests
and customers and hope to open a store in the near future to share our studio
and love of the handmade product.
We are Certified Soapmakers and members of the Handcrafted
Soap and Cosmetic Guild and have a combined 10 years of soapmaking and design
experience.
We are local. We are
handmade. www.wisesoapstudio.com.
Meet Noelle Zambetti from Nilikha Bead Jewelry...
Mabuhay! That’s ‘hello’ in Filipino. My name is
Noelle and I’m the crafter behind Nilikha Bead Jewelry (nee-leek-ha — means
created). I was born and raised in the Philippines, and my birthday marks the
day of an Irish patron saint. So, I suppose you could say that I’m an Asian
born on St. Patrick’s Day with a Christmas name.
I have been an avid beader/crafter for
almost 20 years. What once was a hobby has transformed into a passion. Apart
from benefitting charities, my jewelry has also won awards and recognition at
craft shows and online jewelry-making sites (Fire Mountain Gems and
Beadaholique). My creations aim to appeal to a wide variety of styles and
budget. I specialize in customized jewelry for special occasions such as
weddings, anniversaries, proms, birthdays, and baby showers.
Everyday I thank the good Lord for
blessing me with this gift and that I am able to share it with others. My
numero uno inspiration is my mom, Sonyah. I think of her as the Asian Martha Stewart.
This woman can cook, sew, craft, cross-stitch, quilt, garden, re– and up-cycle
anything she can put her hands on. She is the reason for my
‘If-I-can’t-buy-it-I’ll-craft-it’ attitude.
My goals... My hope is that with
continued exposure in craft shows, social media, and online marketplace (i.e.
Etsy), I will be afforded further opportunity to showcase myself as artisan, as
well as gain knowledge that can improve and expand my crafting horizons.
Ultimately, I want people to enjoy wearing my creations as much as I have
enjoyed creating them. Salamat
(thank you)!

Meet Bethany Wells from B.E. Well Ink..
My background is in psychology and French but I have many hobbies and one of them is art and crafting. I enjoy hobbies such as tennis, running, reading, drawing, painting, and volunteering in the community. I've been doing my craft for about six months!
My inspiration come from everything and everything, but most often feelings.
My inspiration come from everything and everything, but most often feelings.
I learned my talent when I was living as an au pair in France I had the evenings free after taking care of the kids and wanted something to occupy my time. Art has always been a hidden talent of mine and I decided to reconnect with it.
My goal with my business in five years.. I would hope a little bit bigger and a little more popular. Small goals yield the best results.
The message behind my work is detail, symmetry, shapes. To look closely at the fine details!
