Body Eclectic Skin Care
My products are designed to be a relaxing, healing and (most importantly) sensual experience. From the base oil blends (a vegan blend specially created for its cleansing, soothing, emollient properties) to the wide array of organically grown herbs and flowers to promote natural healing (and enhance your pampering experience) – to the fragrant aromas of the different scents and ingredients: lots of passion and sensuality flows into each handcrafted product.
The colors you’ll see are as natural and varied as the colors Nature wears: you’ll find rich ochre and rusts, the creaminess of new milk, hues of verdant green, butter rich gold, spicy oranges, earthy browns and deep loamy indigos. Each ingredient is selected with care and combined in exciting ways; Almost all ingredients can be picked from a garden, grown in the wild, found at your local farmer’s market or discovered at any number of the growing international markets across the country (where delights the world over tempt the senses). My only request of you – with over 80% of the base ingredients being edible, many of the products look and smell good enough to consume: I beseech you not to lose yourself entirely and attempt to eat the products.
Every opportunity to create products brings a sense of wonder, accomplishment, enlightenment, peace and joy. I feel honored and blessed to be able to bring these products to you – my greatest sources of happiness come from not only creating the products for all to enjoy, but in being introduced to new customers (and friends) worldwide through the creations, and knowing the creations help bring a smile or two to someone’s day.

The Gilded Mockingbird is a handmade jewelry business owned by Indianapolis resident Jennifer Warren. She takes inspiration from nature, history, and the macabre to produce interesting jewelry pieces. A life-long avid crafter, she especially loves jewelry-making because it is a way for people to express personal style and to start conversations.
rosebriar arts
RoseBriar Arts has been a life long love of mine. I've been creating things since I could walk and finally decided to share it. I dabble in several art forms but my main specialties are quilted pieces and paintings.
For my quilt pieces I create anything from crossbody bags to dice bags and journal covers to baskets in all shapes and sizes. I also create watercolor, acrylic, and ink paintings. I love deep, rich colors so most of what you see will be created in mixed mediums such as using inks on acrylic, or inks on watercolor, whatever it needs to really make that picture pop. My goal is to create something you dream of but don't see in stores. You dream it and I'll make it happen.
re-generation indy
Re-Generation Indy workshops and shows are a unique, fun and positive way to teach about entrepreneurship, confidence and expressing yourself. Re-Generation Indy aims to keep all art workshops at a low cost and our shows free so that families can participate consistently and become part of the art community and the Re-Generation Indy family. Our goal with the youth of Indianapolis is to show them that being a full-time artist in this city is a viable opportunity.
Bass Bratz
The things I create are inspired by unique and colorful individuals around me. My business is important to me because it is not just custom art pieces, it is getting a chance to see inside someone’s heart and help bring that to life. Whether it be through their hair pieces, art, or jewelry, I am driven to help people express themselves. I truly do this for the smile and twinkle in someone’s eyes when they wear something you’ve put your heart into. For me, there is no greater joy.
mother herb
I offer Earth derived products made and infused with whole plant materials to help keep our connection with Mother Earth close. I forage, home grow, and locally source ingredients to make sure everything is as organic and natural as the moment it was harvested, all offerings are made using a slow infused technique to insure all medicinal qualities are allowed the time they need to be extracted from the plant and used for your benefit. My offerings include herbal teas, smudge sticks, lip balms, body butters, floral essences, salves, and herbal bath soaks.
