What got you started crafting?

I got started making candles a few years ago when I found some candle wax that had been on sale. I found great articles on line and started teaching myself. I love learning new techniques and experimenting to make awesome candles!

What is your source of inspiration?

When I am making a set of three candles to sell together, I like to look through flower catalogs and get ideas on colors that look amazing together.

What have you made recently?

I recently made the green pillar that is pictured. The crystallized look is made by using palm wax. I have to heat the wax to a high temperature, and after pouring it in the mold, I wrap it with a towel to keep it warm as long as possible. Keeping it warm results in as many crystals as possible. I was really pleased with how it turned out. The light green color is so relaxing, yet the square shape makes it look majestic. Or maybe that's just how I see it :)

Where do you sell your crafts presently?

I sell all my candles on my Etsy store, Still Water Candles. Please stop by and check out my large selection of candles. I have richly scented soy candle, decorative pillars, tart melts, and much more. Don't forget to use the coupon code 20HH312 at checkout to receive 20% off anything in my store.

Why are handmade crafts important to you?

I love handmade products. In my opinion it is much more fun to buy from a single person who is handcrafting their work, than a big company that has machines make the items. This way you know what you are buying is unique.
