SoulKu – “heartcrafted” by work-from-home moms in Asheville
Based in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, NC and birthed in 2011 after the emotional and financial challenges of the recent economic recession, the idea of SoulKu came to owners Elisa and Allison in a vision. Pronounced “soul-coo.” The word “Ku” in Japanese translates to “a place of infinite possibility.” Elisa and Allison like to think of their company as just that, “A place where, guided by our soul’s calling, anything is possible.”
Elisa and Allison saw themselves and people all around the world linked by a network of celebratory, sparkling light that inspired, empowered, and connected them. Elisa and Allison both felt their souls calling them to action, to be the change they wished to see. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Elisa and Allison used their world’s challenges as pure inspiration and motivation for empowering themselves and people everywhere. Elisa and Allison created their first collection, Soul Full of Light—simple, meaningful necklaces inspired by the healing properties of gemstones and the spiritual laws of attraction, belief, and Intention. They prayed, sang, and infused each necklace with LOVE and LIGHT. And that’s still how we do it today with the team of SoulKu makers who “heartcraft” each piece.
This unique business model allows the mama makers to be more present with their children, have a creative outlet, and eliminate the huge financial burden of childcare. Each handmade piece is mounted on a beautiful card with an inspirational message of love and encouragement that perfectly aligns with the healing energetics of the gemstone. As a finishing touch, the mama maker personally signs the card.
Citrine Refined Necklace for Manifest
The Refined necklace collection is inspired by the process of polishing, defining, expressing, and living what is special, beautiful, unique, magical, and rare about you!
Additionally, this stunning emerald cut reminds the makers that as they clear away what doesn’t serve them and focus their attention on their very own shape of elegance and culture that they honor their life’s journey and the destiny of their soul’s journey. They embrace all that is wonderful about them and expand it so that others may admire their bright light and do the same from themselves.
Exemplifying the process of refinement, Citrine energizes Intention, self expression, and manifestation. Additionally it empowers the wearer to stay true to themselves, energizes ideas and creativity, and helps one to achieve their goals.New larger size! 12 x 6 millimeter emerald cut gemstone

The mission – “TO BE IN SERVICE”
Soulku wants to empower people like YOU who want to connect with themselves and others in their lives on a deeper level. Nothing moves them more than knowing they have helped touch someone’s life. But they didn’t stop at their customers. They wanted to empower their friends too, so they created a business model that employs local work from home moms who handcraft all the jewelry on their own time frame eliminating the huge financial burden of childcare.

The Otherworldly Work of Mitsuru Watanabe
New Paintings on View at Rehs Contemporary in New York City
Rehs Contemporary is gearing up to open an exhibition featuring the latest creations of acclaimed Japanese artist, Mitsuru Watanabe. The exhibition will showcase a series of six captivating and thought-provoking pieces that reimagine and reinterpret iconic masterpieces by renowned historical artists. Opening October 5th, 2023, from 4:30 – 8 PM, all are invited to view the works being unveiled for the first time.
Mitsuru Watanabe: “Babel and Pudding” – Rehs Contemporary Galleries, Inc., New York City Mitsuru Watanabe’s unique artistic vision has captivated audiences, and his latest creations continue to push the boundaries of artistic expression. The most imposing of the bunch is entitled “Babel and Pudding.” Measuring more than 5 feet tall, the painting is inspired by Dutch Renaissance master Pieter Bruegel’s iconic “Tower of Babel,” a pair of paintings created in 1563. Here, Watanabe pays homage to Bruegel’s intricate detail and rich storytelling, while infusing the scene with his own distinctive twist. The towering structure in the background, reminiscent of the biblical tale, stands as a symbol of human ambition and folly, reaching towards the heavens with a fusion of architectural styles from different eras. Watanabe’s meticulous brushwork and vibrant colors evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity, inviting viewers to contemplate the enduring themes of human ambition, communication, and the complexities of our interconnected world.
One of the most intriguing compositions is “Naoko Playing in Bosch’s Hell.” Inspired by the infernal visions of Hieronymus Bosch’s “The Garden of Earthly Delights,” and particularly the panel depicting “The Hell,” this work plunges us into a nightmarish realm of vivid and surreal torment. The elaborate detail and bizarre creatures create a visual feast for the eyes. Watanabe’s masterful use of color and texture invites viewers to immerse themselves in the chaotic scene, where every viewing reveals new layers of horror and oddity.
Perhaps the most iconic reimagining is “Rousseau’s Music of the Night.” This work draws from the timeless masterpiece “La Bohémienne Endormie,” or “The Sleeping Gypsy,” one of the most famous paintings created by French Post-Impressionist Henri Rousseau. Watanabe skillfully honors Rousseau’s delicate atmosphere while infusing his own unique style. The tranquil desert landscape, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, forms a stunning backdrop to a slumbering gypsy woman and her mysterious lion companion; in this rendition however, the artist invokes a dream-like quality. Watanabe’s daughter casually sits atop the lion’s back, strumming the same mandolin that lays beside the gypsy woman; in addition, the gypsy woman is rendered repeatedly as a motif decorating the sky, further signifying the surrealism of the scene.
Mitsuru Watanabe’s work is a must-see for art enthusiasts, collectors, and the general public alike. This exhibition will provide a unique opportunity to witness the convergence of tradition and innovation in the world of contemporary art.

Sheec ComFits: Day-to-Night, High-Tech Performance Socks for Wherever Life Takes You
There are running socks, basketball socks, golf socks, tennis socks, compressions socks, all types of sports socks, but why not a sock that actually supports your feet all day whether or not you have a sports competition you’re headed to?
As a sock brand dedicated to building functional & stylish socks for wherever life takes you, Sheec has upped the sock game once again by incorporating socks’ innovation with high-tech design to design the ultimate socks, truly designed for everyday wear.
When it comes to socks, Sheec is dedicated to designing the most functional socks that support your lifestyle. Sheec has been studying, researching, and testing socks for more than 11 years, and for 11 years they have successfully designed socks that are game changers making life more comfortable in ways that customers did not think were possible.
Through their journey of becoming no-show socks experts, their customers have asked them time and time again to apply the expertise they have to design dress socks or performance socks. But Sheec knew that we wouldn’t launch a dress sock or a performance sock unless they knew they were doing it better than the rest and filling a gap in the sock industry.
As Sheec designed no-show socks, Sheec keenly followed the shoe industry to make sure that they were designing socks that people needed. And then it happened: the crossover between dress shoes and casual shoes! And with the rave of dress sneakers, Sheec knew that customers would soon also want and need functional performance socks that they could wear all day. Why should supportive sock features only be present for those who do sports? Why should supportive socks only be worn for a few hours of the day? And so Sheec set out on a mission to design the most comfortable supportive everyday sock out there, that you could actually wear every day.
If you ever needed a sock that hugged in all the right places, gave you the amount of compression that could be worn all day, had support without the bulk, and still looked stylish in your shoes, Sheec has done it again.
