Meet Etsy Artist: Dhuni

The artist behind Dhuni may be an Engineer, but she has a passion for creativity. "My job takes a lot of my time, but I try to grab some time during the weekend," she explains. Inspired by nature and exotic cultures, her line of bindis and body jewelry range from ethnic to whimsical - and everything in between. Designing her pieces allows her a chance to rejuvenate from the rigors of her day job. While it is still just a hobby, she aims for her creations to make someone's day. She also uses a percentage of her Etsy income to help local charities and hopes to one day start her own organization. Please check out her shop: http://dhuni.etsy.com/

Meet Etsy Spice Master: ohmasala

Alex has travelled throughout Asia over the last 10 years "in search of anything good to eat." He definitely found a few treasures and recreated them in a traditional style back home in Montreal, Canada. "Unsatisfied with store bought spices and tired of restaurant food that is loaded with fat, sugar and salt, I had to do something," he explains. "After years of culinary research throughout Asia, and years of creating and testing on friends and family, I am now ready to share with all who dare. My goal is to provide excellent quality spice blends and easy to follow recipes to allow the average person to cook tasty and healthy food at home." In his spare time he treats his friends and co-workers to his exotic home-cooked meals. "I am constantly modifying and improving recipes that I've created over the years, and have very loyal customers who answer 'yes!' when I ask them if they want one of my meals, before I even have a chance to tell them what I'm cooking." His spice blends and original recipes are a "great way for me to share my discoveries with everyone." His recipes can be found at http://ohmasala.com/.
