the left hand [handmade herbal skincare]

About Me

www.thelefthand.net
The Left Hand is a small batch, independent worker's collective dedicated to quality, natural and organic body care. In short...we make soap.
Along with the soap, we also edit and produce a DIY/creative journal [The Sinister Compendium - sinistercompendium.com] and run an underground book exchange [The K.U.R.E. - knowledgeunderground.com]. Submissions of any format to either are always welcome.
Knowledge to the Unwashed Masses!
