{i asked michelle to share a little bit about herself and allen designs}
hi! my name is michelle allen. i’m the creator of Allen Designs. i’m a wife of 18 years. a mom of two girls: alexis(15) & jess(10). a full time artist for 14 years- first at Portland Saturday Market and art fairs around the country, then headed into wholesale shows when our oldest began school. i love Jesus, ART-ing, art journaling, running, cycling and downing junk food, for more fun – check out my blog!
we just launched our new website Close2myArt.com. featuring our whimsical clocks, funky art and our newest line, Soap Spitters™.
how did we happen upon Soap Spitters™?
i was at a party a few years ago and my friend said to me that I should make soap dispensers with my animals. the first picture that came into my head was of them spitting soap from their mouths. we laughed about it and i truthfully didn’t give it much thought after that night. that was until i started looking for a soap dispenser for my kitchen last fall. i realized very quickly how UN-creative most soap dispensers are. ahhhhh, an “opportunity”! from an owl to a frog these dispensers will add fun to your hand-washing experience!
