HobbesArt

I am a self taught Graphics Designer and Soapmaker, infusing Color into everything I do.

I started designing scrapbooks by hand back in 1998. A few years later, I started to delve into the world of digital scrapbooking. Most of my scrapbooking is now done on my computer, but I still enjoy doing one by hand every once in a while. The graphics I design have branched out to include areas such as web site graphics, business logos and book covers. I can only spend so much time each day staring at a computer screen, so this is where the other half of my business come in.

In 2009, a friend introduced me to the world of Handmade Soaps. I was impressed by the wide variety colors and fragrances. A few days later, after making the entire house smell like peppermint, I made my first bar of handmade soap. It was fun and I was instantly hooked. I have since tried dozens of base oils, including rendering animal fats. The base recipes I finally decided on are all natural and from plants only, so they are Vegan friendly. I enjoy mixing different colors and scents together each day to create a useful product.

Both of these products allow me to incorporate my passion for Color into what I sell. I sell a lot of my products that I do for fun on Etsy. I also do a lot of custom soap and graphics design, so feel free to convo me if you have an idea for a custom order.
