for a while i have wanted to make an upcycled product for design 2 of my permaculture dip so the aim is to make a bunch of these and make them seasonally with seasonal wildflowers
i just wanted to test it though with some rose petals i had. the candle is 100% natural beeswax and is scented with benzoin resin, opoponax, frankincense, cedarwood, and neroli essential oils
it could have been a bit more strongly scented and i lost a bit of the beeswax to evaporation. however otherwise overall i am pretty pleased with how it turned out though i havent lit it yet.
i actually buried a tarot reading at the base of this candle so that the idea is when it burns down you can reveal the reading. maybe i will have forgotten what i wrote by then but idk, it is for my mum so intended as a nice present.
also pure beeswax looks luscious, just saying. really excited to burn this and make some more :) also hoping to investigate the spirituality of the oils and flowers i use 🦋
