You know Nora? She's a polar bear cutie that was raised at the Oregon Zoo when her mother bear from another zoo rejected and abandoned her. She lives with Hope in Utah at Hogle Zoo now, but she left pawprints on a lot of Oregonian hearts while she was here. Mine included. This handpainted colorway is my homage to Nora and her beautiful habitat.

Handpaints are created lovingly in small batches. Colorways are usually inspired by something I've seen that was beautiful and asked to be recreated in yarn. :)
I utilize sustainable glass, metal, plant-based cellophane, and textile packaging when at all humanly possible! These items are reusable in your home, or recyclable if you choose.
My soap (and several other products) has a label affixed to seed paper that contains a blend of 12 non-invasive wildflowers that bees and butterflies are attracted to.
I hope that you enjoy our tiny gift and that you plant flowers to encourage pollination and beauty. I'd love to see your pot/plot of wildflowers that you grow! Tag me on Instagram or Facebook with "#catspawsoapery"
