Many of you already know this but occasionally we get someone new in the office that says, “there is something similar about the two of you.” “Your mannerisms or I just can’t put my finger on it.”
So for those of you who don’t know – we are sisters and are thrilled to be at Wellspring together!
We are also lovers of craft, art, and making things. Blame our parents who never seem to sit still and always have a project going!
One week from today we will be welcoming you at the center for our 7th Annual Open House and Art Sale!
1. what is your name and please give us three words to describe your creations?
Anita Bondi – inspirational, healing, fun to wear!
Louise Bowman, Living Well – Naturally – smelly, organic, fun.
2. what can we expect to find at your “booth?”
Anita-necklaces, earrings, bracelets, InterPlay Inspiration Decks, and NEW candles with charms (made with Louise).
Louise-lots of fun products for beauty care such as organic soaps, lotion bars, lip balms, sugar and salt scrubs, fun bath items for kids, hand knit wash cloths, fingerless gloves, and knit hats all made with natural fibers
3. what about this art/craft makes you feel passionate and excited?
Anita-I love the way that metal and stones come together and play off of one another. I am thrilled when I sketch out an idea and then am able to bring it to life at the jewelry bench. There is such a thrill and a rush when I show up somewhere and people are wearing my art! (at a conference last year there were 75 -100 people in a circle and as I looked around at least half had on one of my necklaces! way cool!)
Louise-I decided to make soaps last year on a whim and have expanded my beauty care line this year to include the lip balms and lotion bars. I am so excited that you can make these products with very few ingredients, no preservatives and essential oils for scent. I feel like I can be creative in the kitchen when I start to think about what scent I want to use next.
4. when you are not making art, where can we expect you to be?
Anita-At Wellspring Holistic Center seeing private clients or on Main St. teaching Pilates and Improvisation. You might also find me curled up on my couch with my best buddy, Scout, out on the river paddle boarding, riding my bike, hiking, and most likely somewhere dancing!
Louise-Well, it depends on the weather. You may find me out on the river with my sister on my stand-up paddleboard, on the tennis court, or in my kitchen creating something delicious to eat. Of course, there is also my acupuncture practice to keep me out of trouble!
5. do you have 3-5 things on your bucket list that you could share with us?
Anita- a house on the water – discovering a cure for chronic inflammation – having a dog that actually listens – expanded family
Louise-Up until a few years ago I never even heard of a bucket list. If I am able to travel and see more places in this beautiful world I will be happy. If I can spend more time on the water, I will be happy.
