SpunkyKind https://www.etsy.com/shop/SpunkyKind Facebook /spunkykindbodyblends Soaps / Lotions / Beauty Products / Health (Handmade) My passion about natural products encompasses not only what I put on my body, but also what I eat, drink, and use in my home. I personally hand make these products in small batches. The point of my products is not to mask body odor with fragrance, but to prevent the odor-causing bacteria to proliferate. The natural ingredients work together to do just that. Remember that a deodorant is not an antiperspirant, so your body will still be allowed to perspire. This is a natural process that shouldn't be inhibited. NatureKind Tenacious! Deodorants are VEGAN, unisex and FREE of: aluminum, parabens, gluten, preservatives, & anything artificial. Only tested on human samplers. |

Kathy Morrow
KathyMorrowStudio.com Facebook: KathyMorrowStudio/ Youtube: KathyMorrowStudio/ Drawing, Painting I work from my photos of wildlife, domestic animals and my family and friends. All my subjects are real and my stories are imagined. My paintings begin with realism and transform into a story or even a tall tale, such as, Santa's sleigh pulled by flying buffalo or a sheep dog sleeping on a sheep skin jacket as his dreams of herding sheep come to life in the lining of the jacket with Monument Valley in the background. I begin by working out the composition in pencil and then painting with either Acrylic on canvas or Water color and Oil glazes on Clay Board. The Clay Board paintings are sometimes three dimensional or Kinetic paintings. I plan 2 separate originals and saw them into narrow strips then mounting them on 45-degree angles. As you walk by the painting each side is seen separately and both are seen in the middle view and the elements of the painting fit together to make a third image. You could start on one side with a Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly and walk to the other side to see a White Tiger. If you pause in the middle, both originals come together and look like a ceremonial mask. |

Prickly Paradise Elderberry pricklyparadise.co/ Instagram: pricklyparadiseelderberry/ Artisan Food - Handmade and Pre-Packaged My grandmother introduced me to elderberry syrup many years ago when she had great results with it. My two young boys were frequently getting sick and I wanted a way to support my family's health using natural methods. As a forager, gardener, and avid home cook, understanding plants is in my wheelhouse. After trying commercially made elderberry, I quickly went to work in my kitchen finding a way to make it for my family with better ingredients and a better taste. I began to share my syrup with friends and family and the response was overwhelming. In Feb 2020, we launched Prickly Paradise Elderberry in order to serve families in Tucson looking for local, delicious, and all natural elderberry products to keep their families healthy. We love our home in the Sonoran Desert so helping people in our community connect with nature through plant allies is a meaningful and joyous opportunity. Expanding our line to include delicious and healthy herbal tea blends, local Tucson infused honey, and more syrups has been our goal. We pride ourselves on integrity as the core principle guiding us and it informs all of our decisions. We maintain the highest quality products and handcrafted, small batch, artisanal methods in our products. |
