December 2021 - Bend in Starry
This month's candle is a new version of an old idea--gouged out shapes filled with contrasting wax. I didn't want to do anything too corny for the season (or anything that would be really exclusively seasonal and no one would want any other time). So I went with something pretty simple and ubiquitous (which I was bound to do at sometime anyway).
I created a darker version of my regular blue and then carved out each star before filling it in with white wax. I know it isn't revolutionary but I love the way it looks and this kind of candle is exactly what I had in mind when I started this Patreon. I'll never offer it widely because it's more labor-intensive than my other candles but it's a blast to do.
Curved sculptural pillar candle with a flat base. 4” x 2.5” x 1”.
Dark blue wax featuring hand-carved stars filled in with white wax. Made with unscented soy wax and a cotton wick. Vegan and phthalate-free.
If you’re planning on keeping your pillars as decor, keep them looking fresh with a drop of Refresher Oil every few weeks. Please burn on a heat-resistant surface, preferably a burning tray with raised edges. Any stuck wax can be removed with a putty knife.
