more pumpkin candles

As we're moving into the Autumn season I wanted share a few things I've been working on.

These new pumpkins and gourds are being poured in a soy blend and have an off white/ ivory color.

Trends are pulling me toward more neutral shades and I like them so much I think I see a few changes on the horizon for other candles too.

pouring pumpkins.

I'm beat.

I spend the whole day pouring nothing but orange wax.  Pumpkins, leaves and candy corn tops, which is actually the bottom in the world of upside down candle making.

I spent some of last week getting pictures taken for Halloween and I have a few spooky yet fun candles to bring to the blog.

Pine cone candles

These are being made in a new blend of soy and paraffin, not sure how well they'll stand up to the heat of our summers but I love how well they burn.  I'd really like to switch to a more natural wax for all of the candles that I make.

These guys are my test run.

All stocked up and ready for the fall season.  Currently I can make 55 of these a day with plans to increase that if they sell well this year.  Here's hoping!

Floating rose candles new Rust color

Fall has been on my mind a lot lately and after re-tooling the color chart a few weeks ago I realized that I'm severely lacking a good range of fall color options.   It's on the project list this summer for a slow release but our first one is finished!

I had a few requests for a rust color last year after I released that disastrous pumpkin orange everyone said they liked "but could you make it a tad tamer?"  They were right it was just sooo Orange.

So here they are, in all their lovely rusty glorious-ness

Sunflower floating candles

Feeling late to party this year.  Always a few months behind getting out the right candles for the current season.

I really love how these turned out, even though they are time consuming with the two step process to get the brown seed center before the over pour of yellow.  They've been hypnotic to make once I get in to the rhythm.
