Can you please share how you make your beautiful candles?! Never seen anything like it...🥺

Hello! I'm thrilled you like them :)

Because I make them from scratch for my small business, I don't feel comfortable disclosing the process. These candles are ritually and intuitively made overtime, but I love experimenting with colors, herbs, and figures with wax. I don't even keep a recipe book for the color ratios! I just make them from the heart hehe xx

Yearning is such a sweet name for something that makes me feel like an addict who can't get a fix

Terracotta relief showing Skylla, a sea-monster (Milos, found in Aegina 336-323 BC)

Scylla is a terrifying sea monster from Greek mythology, famously encountered by Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey. Living in a cliffside cavern opposite the deadly whirlpool Charybdis, Scylla was once a beautiful nymph transformed by a jealous curse into a grotesque creature with twelve deformed feet and six long, snaking necks, each topped with a horrific head boasting triple rows of sharp teeth. As ships passed through the narrow strait, she would lean out of her cave to snatch and devour sailors directly from the decks. Forced to choose between risking his entire ship to Charybdis or losing a few men to Scylla, Odysseus chose the latter, helplessly watching as the monster struck like a predator and devoured six of his finest companions.

I had a lot of fun watching the film Death of a Unicorn, and its message really stuck with me, so I had to paint up something inspired by the film's message. Had a bit of trouble at the start, but overall, really enjoy how he turned out.

There are some other versions, including a much bloodier one, and if you fancy seeing them on a t shirt, there's a link below to my Redbubble <3

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry
