About Kushmoma:


Hi my name is Fiona.

I have been painting and crafting as long as I can remember. During my time at Camberwell College of Art I was able to pursue this passion. Unfortunately after leaving Camberwell work and family commitments meant that I was not able to devote as much time as I would have liked.

I have always had sensitive skin and started making my own cosmetics for myself and family but a chance rediscovery of my old art portfolios by my daughter inspired me to combine art with chemistry.

Inspirations:

The art of calligraphy is where I find a lot of my inspiration. I strive to create delicate patterns and motifs which I hope will enhance any bath time experience. My designs have a floral theme flowing from a love of the Mexican artist Luis Miguel Suro and the natural world.




Signature Piece:

Soap marbelling has been an ongoing passion of mine. I paint using soap as the medium. Using this technique I try to create eye catching, dramatic and divinely scented soaps.

What to Expect:

Buyers can expect to see an exciting range of decorative soaps and massage bars created from Fair Trade and RSPO oils and butters, with traditional and exotic fragrances like Lavender, Pomegranate and Frankincense and Myrrh amongst others.

Just Noey Designer Feature:


About Just Noey:

My name is Parul Arora and I am a London based illustrator and designer with an extensive background in digital design and animation. In the past year I have branched out into designing ceramics, under the Just Noey name, to create a range of beautiful and unique tableware.

Food and the rituals surrounding it have always been an integral part of our social life but in adulthood they can often be portrayed as uptight affairs governed by many rules and regulations. With my work I want to put some playfulness back into dining! To make it more fun and a little less formal whilst still retaining a strong design aesthetic.



Inspirations:


Inspiration for me comes from many places… From vintage shops to found objects on the roadside, film photography to postcard fairs all find a place in my studio and eventually in the pages of my sketchbooks. But the biggest inspiration of all for me is my love for food - to cook, eat and draw

Best Sellers:




Post-a-plates are unique Postcard Sushi Plates. The plates are created using my illustrations and vintage postcards that I have been collecting over the years.



We Make Christmas:

At We Make I'll be showcasing all my current lines of tableware including Post-a-plates, Alphabet dinner plates, My Cuppa Mugs, Polaroid coasters and also a brand new winter line that I've produced for this holiday season.
