I’m happy to announce the second installment in the new “Featured Artist” series here on Handmade Gazette. Many of you will already be familiar with today’s featured artist, as she’s shown up in many a Gazette collection in the past. Her perfumes and bath salts are positively magical, her product photography is second to none, [...]
