About Unique Speak Boutique

Since the first cave painting art has had the ability to silently speak. That is the core of what Unique Speak Boutique represents. Every piece of art still speaks its own message to every eye who looks upon it. Modern abstract designs hold within them a Rorschach's Inkblot that asks, "What do you see?" Ancient symbols are homes for mythical mentions. The first letters ever formed are mystical tools for spelling. Art keeps coming and art still speaks to us in subtle ways. Beyond a cave wall or stretched canvas, in modern times we use art everywhere. Unique Speak Boutique offers several alternative showcases.

Firstly, there is the USB Accent Lighting in which art is inserted into a finely handcrafted cube lamp. It's one lamp, with endless possibilities for you to speak your personal style. Unique Speak Boutique is the home site for this growing in popularity 'incredible morphing lamp'. It morphs in the sense that the art inserts are interchangeable. It initially comes with your choice of inserts, but after you own it, you can change the art. You can buy new inserts here at the boutique for a new look. You can place personal photos, your own artistic designs, any image imaginable into the lamp, by making it the proper size to fit. You can even change the color of the lamp to match new decor.

The list of showcasing products continues. There are note cards in singles and sets, bath and body products, accessories like shoulder bags and jewelry, bookmarks with inspiring poetry, magnets and frame and easel displays. Some of these items can be made as a set with matching images or sold individually.

Our aim is to offer unique gifts, with a touch of inspiration, especially for the loved ones who seem to have everything. Our gifts make great conversation pieces when it comes to home decor and is a great way for children to learn their alphabet or have their favorite story in their night light for comfort at bed time. The reason the other items emerged was due to the fact that the original art was a celebration of ancient and modern alphabets for adult meditation purposes or a child's learning tool. It has since expanded to being available with abstract art, photography, urban and retrographics, and more. It has become my ongoing artisan project for creating unique gifts that speak through the art contained within them. There are many types of art in the lamps: emblems, glyphs, flowers, industrial shots, icons, archetypes, religious motifs, mandalas, yantras, sunsets, teddy bear lamps, original storybook lamps, (I also write and illustrate Children's Books), designs with ancient alphabets, and more.

Being the artisan that I am, a sort of Jill of all trades, I found other items that also speak worthy of placing at the boutique. I make one-of-a-kind shoulder bags and lap top bags when I have time for a sewing spree. You will never see your bag duplicated. It will authentically be you. I also make eye pillows and a few other unique aroma products such as the "Yin and Yang" soap featured above. This is only the beginning in this area. It is a website that expands. New products will be listed monthly at the "What's New" page. All products will have a unique ability to speak a message, say something and start conversations.

Whether the products are used as gifts, meditation tools, children's learning enhanements, a simple night light or dressing up a corner of a room with a statement, the Unique Speak Boutique lamps let the unspoken shine through. Images offer uncanny ways to enhance life. Images speak to the mind and psyche in personal ways, no matter if we are having fun or being very serious. (See our Article Archives) There are many non-speaking elements in art that speak to us. We are surrounded by objects that do not have a voice but get their messages across. Whether it is an image that brings consciousness awareness through pictograms that enhance meditation and recognition, or a tool for children to learn their alphabet in new and interesting ways, images talk to our minds, sometimes telling us secrets about life. This fascinates me and I hope you too. The "Article Archive" is an ever expanding project and "The Unique Speak Blog" also offers information about symbols and meanings or how to hear the silent messages.

The story of how the Unique Speak Boutique began covers a life time, but it turned into a business aspect more recently. The end result is just as important as the beginning. The past kept speaking to the future in a positive way, moving in its own natural course. When I realized I could freely say it my way, I understood the beauty of individuality and freedom of speech to even further degrees than previously accomplished. I also realized that everyone could also understand our world and express themselves in their own unique ways. I saw that newness was always forthcoming, even if we are simply reworking what we already have. How that translated into products is another aspect of the story. Everything continued to morph and grow. For example, the USB Lil' Light was born because of a lamp I had great success with in the past. I had been making fabric covers for an Ikea triangle shaped lamp which was discontinued. The fabric covered lamp sold so well, due to its choice of fabric designs, I had to find a replacement. I looked high and low and found nothing. The vision finally was born and the story continues from there. I became a manufacturer of the new lamp, a beautiful hand crafted 4 sided frame lamp. I initially wished to continue my work with fabric and lighting, but there was another art from the past that came into the future. It was years of graphic doodling. These doodles were worthy of display in the lamp. Everything expanded from there. It is my self-expression, but it speaks to every individual perception in each person's unique way.

Another part of the past that came into the future was my personal research on sacred alphabets and symbols. I started graphically designing these symbols for my own personal meditations. Using contemplation and reflection, meanings would unfold. A random purchase of a framed sunflower necklace showed me that the art could be placed in jewelry frames, an extension of framed lamps. I had always aspired to be a writer of greeting cards and now I am, although the poetry seems to like bookmarks better. This way the card is blank for your unique mentions. Using mounds of sewing materials I had collected over the years brought forth Unique Speak one-of-a-kind hand bags. All of the above had to do with a unique way of speaking through things, images, inanimate objects. This is the beginning.
