How long have you been in business? Soap Sushi has only been open for a few months. I started a soap business after closing my beadmaking business, LuNa Beads. I was a beadmaker for almost 10 years.Tell us what do you do: I make Artisan Soaps. I have made other bath and body products, but my true love is soaps.

How did you get started in all this? I have always loved crafts. I started making soaps ages ago as a hobby, and really loved it. I finally decided to take the plunge and open a shop when I realized how much I love to make soap.

Do you have a specialty product or product line? My specialty is themed "bar" soaps. I make beverage bar soaps, candy bar soaps, bar soaps with toys (made of soap!) embedded, a Halloween line, and I'm constantly brainstorming for more themes.

Your products are a bit unusual, are you the only one that has it? I don't think anyone else is doing soap quite the way I am. My soaps are more than just great lather and scent; they have personality!

What is your usual turn around time? a couple of business days

What are some things you are doing to help keeping going during this tough economy?
People always need to buy gifts. My soaps are very giftable, and I'm working on new products and strategies for each holiday, birthdays, weddings, and showers.
