Nature Photography & Crafts

My name is Lisa, and my business venture started August 4, 2008

"The story behind my business name"

 I have a bachelor's degree in biology. I have worked as a biologist in the past but I am currently not employed due to health issues. Biology is still an integral part of my life though. I hate to share my photography without knowing first the name (common and scientific) of the species in it. I also volunteer at local parks and preserves when I feel up to it. "Eye" alludes to a camera eye but also to my sharp eyes for picking out details to identify species and find small things in the complexity of nature.

" What do you sell"

Mostly I sell nature photography in the form of prints, greeting cards, and postcards. I also have some photo jewelry made with jeweler's resin. I'm planning to add more resin jewelry with bit of real nature (insects, flowers, lichens, etc) preserved in them. I'd also like to include jewelry made with seashells and sea glass that I have collected.

"How did you get into your craft"

 I've been into photographing nature since I was a little girl. My hobby really took off in college when I got my first digital camera. My aunt and sister got me interested in jewelry making in high school. Again this hobby didn't really take off until college. Resin is something new I have been learning since joining the Etsy community.

My shop has gone through an evolution since I opened it in 

2008. I've changed the name several times before settling on The Biologist's Eye just last year. I originally joined Etsy to try to raise money for my favorite non-profit organization, 

Magic Happens Rabbit Rescue. I still do so, but I have opened another shop, Beads for Bunnies, for this purpose. BeadsforBunnies

Thanks for letting me share my story, Lisa Appelbaum

Custom skin care. FREE SAMPLE WITH EVERY ORDER!

My name is Olga, and my business venture started Technically the shop was opened October 2011, but I didn't open till December 2011

 

"The story behind my business name"

I am a professionally trained pharmacist with a passion for skin care. I started making creams and lotions in collage, back in Russia. People said I had a talent for that. Then I got busy with my life and not always had time for making creams/ lotions. After moving back United States I realized that thew skin care products here have even more chemicals in them, then European ones, so I started making my own soaps and LOVE IT! I started making soaps that LOVES my skin, keep it healthy. Then I got onto Internet and realized how many great ingredients I can buy on-line and may products that I only dreamed about back in Russia., where I was very short on available ingredients. It is like dream become true.. I routinely gave away my products to my friends and coworkers, so they suggested I would start a business. 
 I use not only great ingredient. There a lot of my knowledge and life experience as phiyochemist and old time pharmacy expertise are all in there. I just want women to experience what REAL good natural creams are!!!

" What do you sell"

I make fresh ans sell high quality professionally made absolutely natural and mostly organic face creams, lotions, specialty soaps. My specialty is custom designed creams for people with allergies, skin problems, specific requirements for anti-aging regimen.

"How did you get into your craft"

I extended my professional love to “Galenics” ( making extracts, tinctures ets) to making natural products for non-patients, just regular people to keep them healthy

I would also like to share my knowledge and lots of love I put in every single product I make for you!

Don't Sleep Nobody Sleeps Baby Boy Quilt

 I have been sewing and making my clothes since I was in high school. Home Economics was one of my majors. Once I retired, I had to do something else besides make clothes and that's when I taught myself to quilt, make my own handbags, and make jewelry. This started out being gifts for family and friends and has now turned into a business.
