I tend to consider my style more of a hippie/gypsy look ... but I guess if you turned all of the colors black it might count as Goth (my interests tend to lean towards the romantically spooky in the dark time of the year ... and the romantically green in the light time of the year ~_^)

Making Tapers

With the success of my new honey scented candle (I used the beeswax that came with my last jar of honey), I have decided to use some of the candle leavin's that I have collected over the last year or so, and try my hand at tapers.

I don't have a tall enough metal container, so I have improvised and used an old washed out wine bottle. It seems to be working fairly well. I am all kinds of impressed with myself. Hopefully, within the next few days, I will have a nice set of hand-dipped pumpkin spice scented tapers.

I love making candles. It has really been a long time, but since one of our local craft stores was going out of business (the entire chain is closing down, apparently), I managed to get 20lbs of wax for about $10. Add that to all of the candle leavin's (I make pillars, so there is always something left), I have lots to keep me busy for the next while.

I am thinking that on payday I will pick up some beeswax bricks for scent, and some more white for lighter colors.

I may not have gotten two days off in a row this week, but I am thoroughly enjoying today just the same ^_^
