Halloween Candles, Witches Cauldrons

Since I'm a little sleepy I'll quickly post an oldie but goodie.

Witches Cauldron Candle.  I changed these up a bit this year.  They're still poured in that gorgeous deep black color but in a beeswax blend with a soy blend of purple bubbling witches goop.

Making changes

The first change is one no one noticed. I like it that way, it makes for a smooth transitions.

I think it was good call too as I'm sold out of cauldrons.  Last year I was left with a few dozen orange and green cauldrons while purples enjoyed all the glory so the purples are here to stay and the other colors are a thing of the past.

I really love the new pumpkins and they making for great floating candles too.  Look for these in bulk sets soon. 

An old friend who may see retirement is the floating moon candles, or I may bring them out in limited quantities.  I think I mentioned before how I feel stretch thin making all these different candles, I really love making them too, but time isn't always on my side. and I'm starting feel the weight of it all.

At some point in 2013 we will have to close for a short time as our planning for the studio remodel is completed and although I'm eager for it to be underway I absolutely loathe having to close the shop.

There are a few things we are able to accomplish in the mean time.

The first set of upper cabinets are in and a welcome addition.  They replace several rows of shelves that always appeared cluttered no matter how tidy I tried to keep them.

The next project is the office, which can be done easily with no interference in production.  I do most computer work from the couch anyway.  I tried to get away with not having an office at all, but file cabinets and printers and paper cutters don't go with our living room decor.

cauldron candles

You never know what a witch has brewing in her cauldron but I'd like to think it's a potion as sweet smelling as these candles.  No frog warts or eye of newt in this brew, I promise!

I scented these bubbling, purple, green and orange wax topped candles with a Berry Bewitching Brew of peachy, apricot and blackberry sweetness with a mix of mandarin, cinnamon and rose.

The cauldron is solid black wax with your choice of coloring for the bubbling goo and a sprinkling of glitter.
