My name is Rebecca D. Dillon and I am currently 34 years young and wife to Adam Kendall - the owner and creator of ByHand - a co-op community for artisans - and co-owner of Poked You Too, LLC - your premiere shop for fine art, custom tattoos and body piercing in Botetourt, VA. 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.
Rebecca's Soap Delicatessen was founded in 2001 and currently sells a line of shea butter soaps and goat milk lotions online and in several local shops. 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.
My handmade, cold process Big Lick Sea Salt Soap the perfect soap for dry or problem skin. Great as a facial bar or all over, this bar contains both shea and cocoa butters as well as an abundance of skin loving oils such as Olive and Rice Bran, both known for their moisturizing properties. It also contains sea salt, known for it's healing properties. It leaves behind a bit of your body's own natural excess oil to help smooth and rehydrate your skin. Leaves you feeling moisturized, not oily or greasy, while still getting you clean. Also makes a great shampoo bar.
My Big Lick Salt Bar is named after my hometown of Roanoke, Virginia which was originally a village called the Big Lick. Big Lick was established in 1852 and chartered in 1874 and became the town of Roanoke in 1882 and two years later an independent city.
This wonderful shea and cocoa butter soap has a very fresh greenery base of clover, ivy and aloe, combined with exciting notes of grapefuit, orange, tangerine, and persimmon. It's a very fresh, clean smell and is unisex scent perfect for both men and women.
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 I'm very pleased with the result.
Get your own custom tattoo from Eric Lee at Poked You Too, LLC on Roanoke Rd. in Daleville, VA. We're just down from Lord Botetourt High School. 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.
This will eventually be a half sleeve up to my elbow. It was drawn free hand by Eric and then inked. There are no black outlines, only browns and turquoise.
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.
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.
