In the Beginning..

Aside from years of buying every cute, trendy, and effective face and body product that graced the inner pages of Harpers Bazaar, Allure and Lucky Magazine, what motivated me to give making face and body products a go wad this handmade lovers bible, if you will. This "Book of Inspiration" really helped my "get up and go" to push forward and invent.




That title is not just whistling dixie.. this is indeed the book of inspiration for all of us "handmade babes" with an artsy eye and creative touch. Many summers ago I studied this book.. the way the ladies had set up studios within their home, learning at what age the passion for creating struck them, the images of them at work/play, proudly creating the finest details with the largest imagination.... makes my heart smile to simply recall the greatness. 

If you're an artsy fartsy type, or simply thinking about creating the things you love on a "larger" scale.. or if you'd like to start a craft and see how it develops, or if you simply want to experience great joy in the process, I HIGHLY recommend checking out this book. You won't be disappointed. Years later, I still grab it and find renewed motivation.

This is the Zen Den.
