    I'm just labeling up some lotions, I finished packaging Frankincense Resin last night, I'm doing up some Elderberry syrup today, shipping a couple of things, maybe some scrubs or something, later on.

    I don't make candles, I'm an Herbalist and soapmaker, and if you remove all of the time for state and federal regulations, it was a goodly amount of time. There isn't really a comparison in Herbalism but in soapmaking a year, but I actually dont think the length of time is the only factor, it's also the number of batches the amount of soap one makes. And also all you learn when Sunshine goes wrong. The amount you learn when you stretch your skills. I imagine the same or similar learning process applies to candle making.

    That's a different choice then I would make.

    That is brilliant!

    I think it's a great idea. I would love to be able to, without madly searching, find a so and so maker when the fancy strikes me to buy a so and so from so and so.

    I dont really have a decor unless you count ADD and chaos combined with a 1912 house, circus and Scottish Travellers as a style. That said I like the undyed candles they would match my decor better if I had one.

    Unscented and lavender sell well, so does Helichrysum. Blue Chamomile which does wonders for the skin and is a beautiful azule color just didnt sell very well. I should blend it with something else.

    Soooo. I don't make candles but I do buy them and love them. I love the look of herbs dried little bits of ephemera on the tops of candles. It reminds me of an Alter space, really. Here is the thing... little bits of dried herbs burn and combust and fly away in the air like sparks from a fire ring. And while lovely you do not want sparks and embers flying around your house.

    What not to do.

    I'm a soap maker. Many of my soaps do not have added fragrance (they still are scented from for instance the salt I add, olive oil I use or another integral component of the soap.

    I have some kind of genetic attachment to Ball jars. I love them so much.
