In early April, we posted a FaceBook cover photo featuring an inspirational quote and a few IBN member products from the Indie Photo Gallery at our social site. Our fans loved it so much that we decided to make it a weekly event. You can see the current cover here, featuring some beautiful handmade stackable bracelets. This post shows the cover photos from April and May of this year, along with a bit of information about the members featured. Here’s the cover photo that started it all. The saying reminds us that quality relationships are the foundation of all successful businesses.
(Click image to enlarge.) The featured IBN members are Ayelet Meshulam of NY, New York and Rachel Phillips of Fairy Cute. Ayelet’s photos (this one is her soap) are exquisitely clear and gorgeously rich. See more here. The lip balm is from Fairy Cute, and believe me, everything in that line is very (fairy) cute. See more Fairy Cute goodness here. (The bath bombs look edible …) Don’t you want to see the rest of the covers?! Here they are:
(Click image to enlarge.) Happiness comes from within, according to the Dalai Lama — but a little fun in the tub sure does help! The featured members are Fe Jones of Jones Handmade Soap Co. in El Paso, TX and Erin Pikor of Naiad Soap Arts in San Diego, CA. This is Fe’s rubber ducky soap) for lighthearted bathing fun. See more here. Erin’s soap is always exquisite — she wins awards all the time, and you will love the colors! Get more Naiad here.
(Click image to enlarge.) IBN members are the human embodiment of Emerson’s quote. They not only lobe beautiful things (and therefore have good taste), but they take it one step further and actually create beauty. Not only do they consume the beauty in the world, but they actually contribute to it. Emerson would be proud. Featured here are the lip balms of Kelly Green of Anatomy Naturals in State College, PA. Her packaging is really unique — see more here.
(Click image to enlarge.) I love how IBN members don’t sit around waiting for things to happen. They take the bull by the horns and whip it up themselves. Super examples are Samantha Dickey of Atlanta-based Dirty Beauty, and Jennifer Hardaway of KleanSpa in Burbank, CA. Samantha uses a lot of emerald green packaging, which you will love. See more here. Jennifer makes sugar scrubs galore (ask about the “scrub of the month club”), and these awesome solid perfumes. Jennifer customizes too — ask me how I know! Get more KleanSpa here.

Question: Which cover photo inspires you most?
What a cool idea! I love them all but especially love the W.B Yeats quote!
The Yeats quote is my favorite of these as well. Oh, and your soap too
Just finished the Wasabi. I’m not the type of person to admire handmade soap art from afar or as decor. Much more fun to use it up and buy more!
