About me:
About Me.
My name is Rebecca D. Dillon and I am currently 33 years young and wife to Adam Kendall - the owner and creator of ByHand - a co-op community for artisans. I have one son, Cody, who's 12 and plans to attend UVA with a major in law and a minor and history once he graduates high school. As for myself, I hold a Bachelor in Fine Art from Roanoke College where I studied a bit of everything including photography, screen printing, graphic design, pottery, 3-D design, drawing, painting, art history, poetry and even writing. I enjoy reading and making soap and am self-employed as my sole source of income.
About Rebecca's Soap Delicatessen.
Rebecca's Soap Delicatessen was founded in 2001 and currently sells a line of soaps, lotions, and milk baths across various venues including my local city market. My product focus is always on creating the best handmade soaps. You'll find that many of my soaps smell like delicious favorites from the kitchen, and all of her divinely scented soaps contain skin loving ingredients like shea butter, rice bran, coconut, and olive oils. They create a wonderfully, rich lather that you can both shave with or use as a shampoo bar. All of my soaps are made from scratch using the cold process soapmaking method, never a pre-existing base. You'll love the difference my soaps make on your skin.

Featured Soap
My handmade, cold process Garden Mint Gardener's Shea Butter Soap is the perfect bar soap for the gardener, artist or mechanic! It contains fine ground pumice, poppy seeds, and apricot kernel meal for scrubbing away caked on dirt, grease, paints, and anything else you might get your hands into. The fresh scent of spearmint, lettuce, and rain makes it pleasant to use, while natural, unrefined shea butter helps to prevent hands from drying out.
This multi-purpose soap boasts a wonderful, rich lather that washes all that grit and grime cleanly away! As it's super exfoliating, also try this handmade soap on rough soles, elbows, and knees. My customers love it as a foot soap as well! Each bar weighs 4oz. - 4.5oz. This soap is all natural except for scent and is naturally colored with a green oxide. Vegan.
My Garden Mint Soap, like my other fine, handmade soap is rich in moisturizing oils and butters for happier, healthier skin. Just give it a try and you'll be hooked!

Tattoo Queen
I finally got my old dolphin tattoo - a horrible spot of ink from when I was 18 - covered up for good on Saturday, May 16th with a bright and shiny new tattoo.
The sketch of what the tattoo will look like. Notice the large flower on the left covers a pink, faded dolphin. The girl bathing in the wheelbarrow on the right is inspired from a Threadless t-shirt design. There's lots of bubbles and a rubber duckie.
Eric Lee starts working on the outline for the tattoo.
Filling in the tattoo with color.
The final piece. It's so bright and vibrant and beautiful. The photograph really doesn't quite do it justice. The entire tattoo took about 5 hours and as of this moment is still quite sore. The last hour with that needle was almost unbearable, but I was a trooper, and I'm very pleased with the result.
Stay tuned for the July 1st opening of Poked You Too, LLC to get your own awesome ink by Eric Lee. Even better, bring your friends and discover a whole new kind of tattoo/piercing/art shop at the Grand Opening on Labor Day!
Follow my photo album for Poked You Too on Facebook to see how the shop looked in the beginning, and how we've been growing since.

Bone Crossed (Mercy Thompson Series #4) by Patricia Briggs
In a world where "witches, vampires, werewolves, and shape-shifters live beside ordinary people" (Booklist), it takes a very unusual woman to call it home. By day, Mercy Thompson is a car mechanic in Eastern Washington. By night, she explores her preternatural side. As a shape-shifter with some unusual talents, Mercy's found herself maintaining a tenuous harmony between the human and the not-so- human on more than one occasion. This time she may get more than she bargained for.
The Awakening (Darkest Powers Series #2) by Kelley Armstrong
If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl—someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I'm as far away from normal as it gets. A living science experiment—not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. What does that mean? For starters, I'm a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control; I raise the dead without even trying. Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. Ever. Now I'm running for my life with three of my supernatural friends—a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch—and we have to find someone who can help us before the Edison Group finds us first. Or die trying.
Heroes
My heroes growing up were Wonder Woman and She-Ra. They were, obviously, both make believe. As an adult I no heroes. I'm not sure whether that's sad or not. But I've been told by numerous people that I'm an inspiration to them. So maybe it's better to be a hero than to have a hero.
