This is an ode to my heritage.** <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d7fa46ea98b8eefc622b229/who-do-you-think-you-are-ifsteam?page=2#comments">CLICK HERE TO VOTE</a><br /><br />INTRO: I have learned so much more than I thought I would during this challenge. It's been a lot of fun! I'll share with you the process, the meaning behind my piece and some cool facts I've learned along the way.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thecaravan.etsy.com">CLICK HERE TO GO TO MY STORE</a><br /><br />STARDUST:<br /><br />*I would like to begin with the star significance that this piece has.<br />Scientific research has shown that we all originated form stardust, that's just awesome! So a proper beginning would be to start with where we all spawned from: a star!<br />Not only that, but it signifies that we all have the potential to be a super star in our own lives. We have the ability to reach and impact others, and to shine brightly.<br />So, fallow the star in your heart and use your talents to impact those close and far!<br /><br />THE WEB:<br /><br />*Next I would like to talk about the inner web of this piece. To me it signifies how we are all intertwined in a DNA web, connecting us. It's mind blowing how far back you can search and will find ancestors from all over the globe. It's a web that connects the human race.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thecaravan.etsy.com">PLACE YOUR OWN CUSTOM ORDER NOW</a><br /><br />NATIVE HERITAGE:<br /><br />*I decided to make a dream catcher for this project, as in conjunction to other meaningful things, it shows a part of my Native American heritage.<br />My great grandfather was half Cherokee Indian, unfortunately he died the same year I was born. However, I've learned some native traditions through other family members.<br />It was one particular summer, 15 years ago (I was 13) when I was very interested in our native heritage and I began making dream catchers.<br />That summer I visited my great aunt in Arkansas. One day she saw me sitting on the porch making a small dream catcher.<br />"That will never work you know" she said.<br />"Well, why not?" I asked, returning the sass.<br />"You need to infuse your intent, you need to clear your mind. You can't think bad things or the person you give it to will have nightmares. You cant just think about anything, you have to meditate and do it right" she said.<br />And that's when I learned how to "really" make dream catchers and I've been making them that way ever since.<br />She showed me a huge 5 or 6 foot tall dream catcher that a medicine woman had made for her. It was non traditional, in the way that it did not use leather and sinew and all that typical "Native" stuff. It was made from willow branches, they were not covered and it was beautiful. That same dream catcher has inspired me ever since.<br />I've always felt very close to nature and the earth. I hope that shines through in this piece.<br /><br /><br />MEANING OF CHARMS:<br /><br />*The butterfly in the dream catcher signifies birth, life, change and growth. The skeleton signifies death at the end of our earth cycle.<br /><br />*The rosebud is an ode to my grandmother's side of the family, true gardeners and farmers with a love of plants and natural healing. They have taught me so much about plant life, it's not even funny!<br /><br />*The shell signifies my love of water and how many of my ancestors lived by the water i.e: Scottish, English and Danish.<br />My grandmother loves to tell me the story of how water would always calm me down. When I would start crying as a wee-one, she would fill the sink with water and put my little feet in there. I would instantly stop crying. She said it worked like magic.<br /><br />MORE CHARMS:<br /><br />*Hanging from the dream catcher are more charms:<br /><br />*An English crest, for my English Heritage.<br /><br />*A wagon for my Euro-American ancestry, for the settlers which called this great country their home.<br /><br />*I hand painted a viking ship on drift wood for my Danish heritage - they happened to be incredible craftsmen, making ornate ships, tools and jewelry.<br /><br />*A shell which looks like a horn from a unicorn to represent my Scottish heritage - I found out that the unicorn is their national animal and almost did a back flip! That's so cool! By the way, Scotland has 787 Islands - wow!<br /><br />*And a cowboy boot for my Southern roots.<br /><br />THE PROCESS: This piece is very eco friendly. The wood is from a repurposed wreath.<br />To weave the web I used hemp cord in undyed and naturally dyed (black) hemp.<br />I also used many clear glass and stone beads!<br />For binding the wood together I used natural twine.<br />The beads are made of glass, wood and stone.<br />The rose is a natural, dried rosebud.<br />The Skeleton charm is made of clay.<br />The other charms are made of metal.<br />I hung feathers from the dream catcher and sprinkled some glitter in the middle of the web (a little faux star dust!).<br />This project took me 10 days to complete.<br />*It measures about 20" inches in width.<br /><br />Thank you for looking, and reading the story which merely scratches the surface of my heritage.<br />Let this inspire you on your journey!<br /><br />CUSTOMS: I'm taking custom orders on Dream Catchers. If you would like to place an order, please convo me, and take a look at my custom dream catcher listing in my shop for more details.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thecaravan/etsy.com">SEE MY SHOP</a>The Caravanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07168660556077628209noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579725515582974473.post-50236416637791209842010-11-29T09:03:00.000-08:002010-11-29T09:09:13.689-08:00CYBER MONDAY 20% OFF CODE: OMG20<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFlToZMizcdaxy6FFv0Q_DlKtEbWJsNy1rHHFELmJt5DLLJQMkg7NujXgWXjQNsNv6aAVrSeJeQlGYPHy90mNG0OqlUQMjZvgQKpq7CLZpnjxKFLg6HLzOk0fI01i60ccG7P0wuwaOhp4/s1600/snwmen_up.gif"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 119px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFlToZMizcdaxy6FFv0Q_DlKtEbWJsNy1rHHFELmJt5DLLJQMkg7NujXgWXjQNsNv6aAVrSeJeQlGYPHy90mNG0OqlUQMjZvgQKpq7CLZpnjxKFLg6HLzOk0fI01i60ccG7P0wuwaOhp4/s200/snwmen_up.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545019875549374018" /></a><br />CYBER MONDAY 20% OFF SALE - USE CODE: OMG20<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TCsoApCo">www.tcsoapco.com</a>The Caravanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07168660556077628209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579725515582974473.post-26059884056941961812010-11-25T10:58:00.000-08:002010-11-25T11:23:40.719-08:00RAVEN NOIR WITH RAVENS BREW<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/50453403/raven-noir-black-coal-soap-face-and-body"> <img src="http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac5/tcsoapco/ravensnoir.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />You haven't seen Raven Noir in a while because we've been working hard to get a licensed contract with <a href="http://www.ravensbrew.com"> Raven's Brew Coffee©, Inc.</a>, to be able to use their <a href="http://www.ravensbrew.com/raven.html">Ebony Pearls™ French Roast</a> coffee in our <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/50453403/raven-noir-black-coal-soap-face-and-body">Raven Noir</a> Soap. <br /><br />It's been a great success and we are very happy with the results, and are ready to share it with you! <br /><br />Here are just some of the specs on this NEW IMPROVED version: <br />Coffee helps tighten and detox skin and helps tighten and de-puff eye area - great when you're a little sleep deprived! <br />Caffeine supplies the skin with antioxidants which fight against aging - we all want some of that! <br />Recent studies conclude coffee aids in tightening cellulite when used on body - and fights acne! <br /><br />*We make no claims, but give it a try, we think it's been a great addition to this already wonderful soap! <br /><br />We've also used the extract of the herbs, taking out the scratchiness of the ground herbs, making it softer on your skin.

We've added Wormwood, that special herb said to give Absinthe it's hallucinogenic qualities. Well, it's actually an anti-bacterial when applied topically, and of course it will not make you hallucinate!! We also updated the scent, it's resinous and unisex, earthy with a touch of floral. The main ingredient is the Black Coal, which draws out impurities and also lightens and brightens skin tone. I see an exciting future for our Little Raven Noir!

But I couldn't help sharing my excitement over this etsy shop I found a few days ago. I stumbled upon this cute shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/RainbowMittens">RAINBOW MITTENS</a>, where the owner hand knits these mittens herself! They totally remind me of the mittens I wore as a kid in the 80's. The ones pictured above are called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/34418233/honey-rainbow">"HONEY RAINBOW"</a> mittens, which is so suiting!<br />I'll need some new mittens this fall & winter, because the ones I've had for 6 years are looking kind of sad and drab!

You can buy them in the set of 4, and get a discount - or buy them individually.

Loaded full of skin softening Organic bamboo shoots & Organic hemp powder. <br />Top it all off with omega-loaded hemp and olive oil, and you have yourself one very skin nourishing bar. What gets me even more excited? Not only is it processed in an eco-friendly manner, it's packaged in 100% biodegradable packaging! It's vegan! It's orangutan safe - not meaning OK to use on orangutans, silly - by not using palm oil I keep from supporting the corruption of their habitat - now that really lights my fire, baby! Hopefully it lights yours too! While you're at it, check out the new soap stamp (movin' on up). <br /><br />The lather is soft and frothy, equally suited for shaving. I would go so far as to say, you could even use this soap on your face! My husband does - he uses it for shaving and as a body & face soap. Now only if you could use it on your hair, you'd need no other soap. Alas, I don't recommend using it as a shampoo! (Solid shamp bars coming soon!)<br /><br />There's nothing I love more than taking a nice cool shower with some peppermint soap, on a hot, muggy, summer day - or early in the morning, to wake myself up! Rejoice! <br /><br />An age old motto "Live and let live".The Caravanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07168660556077628209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579725515582974473.post-37639763339051915092010-05-12T10:01:00.001-07:002010-05-12T10:22:33.530-07:00SALE on Earrings!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDbnSzqjqmsOGGr_ytjlc291Jzm-eXZz9h6lCZt_DVQ7jtbmGNHnJ9XNI34ScEh8qd0Ax8WA_BStOtPTXS_RYf9HvUA9ZmmN2F5elrJPnvVfCS3yI5Io6pn-Gnl8oPLR9IeyZL7528ORg/s1600/red+earrings.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 185px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDbnSzqjqmsOGGr_ytjlc291Jzm-eXZz9h6lCZt_DVQ7jtbmGNHnJ9XNI34ScEh8qd0Ax8WA_BStOtPTXS_RYf9HvUA9ZmmN2F5elrJPnvVfCS3yI5Io6pn-Gnl8oPLR9IeyZL7528ORg/s320/red+earrings.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470430032137875202" /></a><br />I'm happy to be offering these beautiful Bella (Twilight) inspired earrings, at a discount this week! <br />Actually, I'm pretty surprised that I still have <a href="http://www.thecaravan.etsy.com">THESE</a> - they've been in the <a href="http://www.thecaravan.etsy.com">SHOP</a> for a while now, and I think they're just gorgeous, scrumptious, cute, vintage earrings!<br />They are equally dressy and casual. <br /><br />Or, pick up these snow white babies to adorn your lovely ears!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU4CxBSgnWcJx-Oq9r0g6au2zuE4KymRIkHJ2V4mT_DLDD4RwAodLMk2PngvjglS2xBuTPiMmeep-MylxQJucfgkREB1FylcLy5dZDL8EetSDi9E0RCy_OOnMUKngFSvCqxlgXngw86Bw/s1600/il_fullxfull.46775179.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 176px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU4CxBSgnWcJx-Oq9r0g6au2zuE4KymRIkHJ2V4mT_DLDD4RwAodLMk2PngvjglS2xBuTPiMmeep-MylxQJucfgkREB1FylcLy5dZDL8EetSDi9E0RCy_OOnMUKngFSvCqxlgXngw86Bw/s200/il_fullxfull.46775179.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470431819450477842" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Can't wait to send these beauties off to their for-ever-homes!The Caravanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07168660556077628209noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579725515582974473.post-53846958718404382282010-05-01T12:49:00.001-07:002010-05-01T13:04:39.265-07:00Pick New Packaging<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9BpziE7MMFtUNtEfv3yqdpQ-hfzYxcM3i50mcN4F0KKhmyeO3VG8xzO4UxA6cs3TKTbT1uZpShx12VZX7fsr3kvigd5un_EABOzh5DPLNJ2mjFtK-RlC9lGWc5NxWeLvfPZK9l3vq6wI/s1600/SDC11086.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9BpziE7MMFtUNtEfv3yqdpQ-hfzYxcM3i50mcN4F0KKhmyeO3VG8xzO4UxA6cs3TKTbT1uZpShx12VZX7fsr3kvigd5un_EABOzh5DPLNJ2mjFtK-RlC9lGWc5NxWeLvfPZK9l3vq6wI/s320/SDC11086.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466391573021522066" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjnGuOvJ47wNxPEacaCoK1QHw5wcG8u9XfIIqpp7W10R20zSp0SyaY1jwT-ELq6qXdQwXBlq6P2Iza3jkLMVJUPqU46YdT-wF0OtINk-3YkvviiBcmUKX_-PRHM3E-vb2m7wkjek0CTAs/s1600/versus1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjnGuOvJ47wNxPEacaCoK1QHw5wcG8u9XfIIqpp7W10R20zSp0SyaY1jwT-ELq6qXdQwXBlq6P2Iza3jkLMVJUPqU46YdT-wF0OtINk-3YkvviiBcmUKX_-PRHM3E-vb2m7wkjek0CTAs/s320/versus1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466391354224293282" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I've been hitting the drawing-board on our new soap packaging - these are the two winners, but we can't decide which to pick! <br />They are both 100% biodegradable, so both are eco friendly.

I'm at the part where she takes off to Italy to save Edward. <br />What the hell is wrong with Bella? She's really pissing me off. <br />Has she not <span style="font-style:italic;">seen</span> Jacob? Good lord girl, FORGET Edward. <br />As much as it is supposed to be a Romeo and Juliet story, any real life girl would get over Edward in a heartbeat to be with Jacob. <br />She's so selfish, she's constantly thinking about herself and I suppose Edward. Jacob saves her life and she doesn't even thank him. He's head over heels inlove with her and he doesn't even get a kiss for saving her life? <br />I want to slap her! Slap her in her little naive face. <br />I can't be the only one who feels this way! <br />Go Jacob, come over here and I'll give a kiss, poor guy!The Caravanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07168660556077628209noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579725515582974473.post-21233469728026435652009-06-17T10:47:00.000-07:002009-06-17T10:49:12.441-07:00VacationHi everyone, <br /><br />I just put my shop in Vacation mode.
