Lash Bar West
Jessica Lee has been a lash artist since December of 2018 and opened Lash Bar West on the corner of Sooke Road and Happy Valley Road in October of 2019. She fell in love with eyelash extensions when she had some applied before a trip to Mexico. She loved how she looked and how low maintenance they were.

Poshy Paw
Belinda Jay, a busy art photographer before COVID hit, was looking for ideas. She decided to recreate a bag sheB次元官网网址檇 bought in Hawaii that was great for taking on dog walks.
B次元官网网址淲henever I was out walking, people would comment on the bag. I asked a friend to teach me how to sew and create the pattern. It took me a few months to learn and it took five bags before I got it right,B次元官网网址� she said.
The result, Poshy Paw Dog Walk Bags, are a cross-body bag with a large pocket for a cell phone and sanitizer and a small pocket for dog treats. The best part about them is the built-in bag dispenser, which makes it easy to dispense the scoop bags.
Jay, a volunteer for the Canadian Mental Health Association, donates 10 per cent of all sales to the organization. You can see these fun bags at etsy.com/ca/shop/PoshyPaw.
Vancouver Island Pyroart Designs
Jenny Stanford started her company in November of 2020, after her holiday home was grounded.
B次元官网网址淚 took a few weeks off to go home to the UK, but since we couldnB次元官网网址檛 fly, I got bored and started creating pieces of art,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淚 had some reclaimed wood and painted a picture on it for the house. Then I researched what else I could do. IB次元官网网址檝e combined three techniques of wood burning, acrylic pens and water colours. Then I seal them all to protect the art.B次元官网网址�
The smallest items she makes are keychains, about three inches across. Ornaments and coasters are about four to six inches and larger plaques are also available.
B次元官网网址淚 am open to custom orders and like to work with live edge wood. If someone has a piece of wood they love, IB次元官网网址檇 be happy to look at it and see if we can use it,B次元官网网址� Stanford said.
You can see some of her work on Instagram, Facebook and Etsy by searching Vancouver Island Pyroart Design.
