Workoart Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hi all, I've been making candles for a little over 20 years...the colonial way. I have volunteered with my lovely MIL at several local Historic houses, demonstrating the ways these mid to late 1700 houses made soap, candles, and their house apothocaries. Avid crafter and master herbalist. Paper craft, scultper, macreme, plants and gardens ⬅those are what I'm good at lol but always trying new stuff. Eight years ago in a moment of weakness, signed up with "scentzy", did not last long. Took a break from doing craft shows, and all things craft. To help love and take care of my aunts with FALS. Now I'm a huge advocate for Lou Gerhigs Disease and abandoned working hound dogs. A few years ago started back, research and testing for a come back. I knew of this forum and other digital ways, but the time just was not on my side with all things life + children, now grown and two gone. I opened an online shop earlier this year with mostly melts (shocked it's doing well.) With several local shows booked. I still have tons to learn, fragrances, and actually waxes not involving beeswax and tallow over open fire pits lol. Still testing, although happy with my blend I continue to look for that holy grail wax. So here I am joining this fantastic rabbit hole. 😍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
