My Story
Hello! I am Faliesha
(But most people call me Fish )
I’ve been fully obsessed with creating for as long as I can remember. I was crocheting with my grandma at five, drawing constantly by ten, and spent my high school years fully immersed in AP Art classes. Creating has always been the one thing that stuck with me, no matter what life looked like.
From Photography to the Ocean
Life didn’t follow a straight path. I became a mom at a young age and had to figure things out quickly. I turned my creativity into something practical, picking up professional photography to support my family.
In my 20s, life shifted again. I had to start over completely from scratch, rethinking my entire future while raising my kids. I started drawing memorial portraits, which accidentally led me to acrylic pouring... which led me to resin art.
I completely fell in love with creating ocean resin pieces and selling my work at pop-up markets. For the first time in a while, everything felt like it was coming together.
How Enchanting Tides Was Born
As I got deeper into resin, I started working with custom molds. I wanted total control over my designs, so I taught myself how to make my own.
That turned into its own obsession.
When my blank supplier stopped making pieces, I took it a step further. I bought my own laser cutter so I could design and manufacture everything myself from start to finish. Eventually, other makers started asking to buy my custom designs... and that is how Enchanting Tides was born.
Built For Makers, By a Maker
This business wasn’t planned. It was built piece by piece out of necessity, curiosity, and a deep love for the process.
Today, I create premium, (many that are hand-sculpted) silicone molds and supplies for other artists who want to bring their ideas to life. Especially the ones who, like me, tend to dive all the way into the deep end of whatever they are making.
My Vision
My Vision: Where the Water Calls Me
I was born and raised in Southern California, and the water has always been my place of calling. Whether it is an ancestral pull to Víz Anya, the Hungarian Mother of Water, or simply because the ocean is the absolute center of all life, it constantly calls to me.
This deep connection shapes not just my art, but the entire intentional foundation of Enchanting Tides. My vision is simple: create things I love, run a business with deep intention, and fiercely protect the waters that inspire me.
The Three Pillars of Enchanting Tides
-
The Mold Buy-Back Program
Silicone shouldn’t end up in our landfills or oceans. Through our circular recycling system, you can ship your retired Enchanting Tides molds back to our studio and trade their weight for active store credit. We grind them down and reuse them, keeping waste entirely out of the environment. -
Premium Platinum Silicone
Many mediums are fun to work with, but they all come with real responsibility. We manufacture our molds using maximum-grade, high-quality platinum silicone. Because our molds are built to last significantly longer through repeated resin pours, creators naturally buy fewer replacements over time, drastically reducing overall studio waste. -
Craft Education & Resources
We believe in empowering the maker community. We are deeply committed to sharing safer studio practices, hosting low-waste crafting guides, and donating 10% of every sale to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to protect marine life. We want to be a safe haven where artists feel seen, inspired, and supported.
You do not have to be perfect to make a massive impact. Small, intentional choices in how we create, how we consume, and how we connect are what actually add up over time
