It started as a Fantastic idea...
"FantaSTICK started as an idea more than fifteen years ago, when I was in high school. Inspired by a hairpiece I saw at a Renaissance Festival, I began the designs of the hairsticks that were my first products available in my shop.
Over time, I began to expand my beadwork to other items: earrings, necklaces and even bracelets, all the time keeping the same handcrafted touches that were first implemented into those hairstick designs when I was younger.
As handcrafted jewelry began its decline, I started looking for other creative ways for FantaSTICK to continue. With so many options open to me, given some training and effort, I decided to focus on what I could make that would benefit the customer more than just a pretty bauble.
As a practicing Ovate, I have learned a lot about the healing powers of herbs, essential oils and even aromatherapy. Putting this knowledge to use, I rebuilt my shop from the ground up and now, the FantaSTICK Soap Company is slowly becoming known for what I feel has been my calling: handmade soaps.
It is my hope that customers who use my soaps benefit from the purchase, whether through the healthful properties of the formula or the enjoyment of the fragrances. "
