Eric Johnson - Studio

Current Project: Pinup Popup - a Popup Calendar for 2014
 
Pinup Popup is a calendar comprised of 13 separate cards, one for each month from January 2014 through January 2015. The cards are designed to rest on a flat surface, like a desk or table. They are made using paper engineering techniques ¬– "popup” to most of us. The pinup girls evoke the classic style of pinup’s golden era in the 1940s and 1950s. The pinups are tasteful, not nude, and (probably) safe for both work and home.
 

Illuminated Art - Candle Making

At Illuminated Art, candle making is an art form. Instead of being simple and plain accents our Sculpture Candles are unique visual centerpieces that draw attention and conversation.
 
The Sculpture Candles in our Geometric Hands series all exude a certain sense of mystery. Human and geometric forms combine together to create images that are both mystical and fantastical. Innately classical yet contemporary and stylish, our Sculpture Candles are unique decorative highlights for today's modern living spaces.

Antwan Penn - Yogic Investing

“It is the purity of man’s heart and mind, and his innocent and faithful approach to action with the purpose of all good to everyone, which really succeeds in yielding maximum results with minimum effort.” - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
 
My concept utilizes 5 pillars that resonate with me from my MVS studies:
 
1. Knowledge is the greatest purifier
2. The means gather around Sattva (purity)

Connie's Creations

I have been making jam my whole life.  Awhile back, my friend Michelle suggested I share some of my creations at our local Farmer's Market in Fairfield, Iowa.  After branching out to other markets and festivals in Eastern Iowa, we wanted a way for our clients to order without having to wait until I was nearby.  Thus, this website was born.
 
Come on in and look for your favorites, and while here, check out some of our other surprising flavors.
