DIYers! make EVERYTHING from nature & recycled stuff w/ LOVE!

Permacrafters

We are 2 multi-lingual multi-cultural women who share nifty self-reliance skills and encourage creative permaculture thinking.

(What is permaculture? Short answer: Think living off-the-grid, homesteading, sustainable lifestyle, care for the Earth, being able to make all your own products, being a loving hippie)

We have a BLOG, ONLINE COURSES and IN-PERSON WORKSHOPS on the following permaculture topics:

1. Growing Foods indoors/outdoors [example of workshops: A. growing mushrooms in your apartment B. worm composting for kids C. growing sprouts & microgreens at home)
2. Creating Recycled Crafts and Useful Tools [example of workshops: A. how to build a recycled bird house. B. how to build a solar oven!]
3. Recipes that nourish body and soul [examples of workshops: DIY handcrafted herbal medicine, DIY toxic-free cosmetics, DIY safe cleaning products)
4. Living a sustainable/healthy/green/self-reliant Lifestyle [examples of workshops: A. how to buy all your stuff second hand]

(Why “crafters”? We make all our own stuff. Don’t go to the store. Make our own medicine, food, tools, art, etc. DIY-life)

Target audience:
We want to make the hippy do-it-yourselfer lifestyle fun and attractive to 20-40 year old women and men.

We want our brand to convey:
5. professionalism (showing we joke a lot, but our classes are high-quality)
6. creativity/ inspiration
7. fun/warmth
8. resourcefulness
9. alternative lifestyle // possibilities
10. accessibility (ANYONE can learn these skills)
11. connection to nature // care for the Earth

(NEW INFO: Please look at Cristina's amazing sketches in the pics I uploaded!)

Ideas for images we would love in our logo:

We work with our HANDS with HERBS and TINCTURE BOTTLES (for Wellness), SCISSORS + PAINT BRUSH (for Crafting), with a WATERING CAN or MUSHROOMS or VEGETABLES or BEES (for Gardening), with an APRON and MASON JARS or COOKIES or MUFFINS (for Cooking).

Idea 1: A watering can (or a mason jar) filled with: herbs, paint brush, mushrooms and kitchen supplies
Idea 2: PermaCRAFTERS, with the Perma being “normal” and the “Crafters” being creative, with herbs, paint brush, scissors, etc.

We are rebranding in order to launch online courses. To get a basic idea of some of our previous work, click here: https://www.simplementelovemade.com/ (We are environmental educators - the blog was started as a fun project between friends. We're now looking to make it professional without losing our "relate-ability".)
We are becoming a trilingual business (English, French, Spanish). Christelle is the "face" of the English & French community. Cristina is the "face" of the Spanish community. Our pictures will give you an idea of our personality. Please FEEL FREE to play around with the color palette on our dresses (the blue too, basically)!!!

HERE IS OUR NEW WEBSITE (not officially launched yet): http://permacrafters.com/

If you could try to use a FONT similar to our "PERMACRAFTERS" on our homepage, that would be awesome. It's called "Satisfy". (We also are open to other fonts, of course!)
