i have been very busy in the ceramics studio making bottles for my boyfriend’s gatorade, but at least there are still core candles and some “vintage” items at bugsrock.online/shop available

new candles, new bug report 🪻🌲🪲✍️ bugsrock.online/blog/februar...

A photo of two candles on a green backdrops surrounded by amethysts, strawberry candies, a dish filled with green-tipped matches, and a green chrome 20 sided roll to 11 because my birthday is on the 11th. The candle on the left is a green two-tiered cubic pillar candle with a handmade terrazzo-like style green pattern on the tops of each tier. on the right is a periwinkle glass with white wax candle called lavender smoke.

yesterday‘s batch came out great, just needed some heat gun smoothing. today, day 2 of tests, i tried pouring the wax at a way cooler temp than the manufacturer said to (as i did yesterday) and it’s curing much more uniformly…so far

photo of some candles curing in periwinkle glasses and the wax is more evenly solidifying from the bottom, up

testing a new wax and this mushroom structure as it’s curing is a pattern i have not seen before, sure hope this isn’t a huge pain in my ass later!!

photo of some candles in periwinkle glass i am curing. they are mostly melted but the bottom and center with a mushroom-like top has solidified

the shop is back open with a couple core items to bring some warmth in these chilly, dark days 🍳☀️ bugsrock.online

Bugs rock core is back! in the background is an image of a wick test i was recording on camera of two of my first collection candles: a couple of rectangle eggs and a three-tier pillar candle with grass the sky and the sun.

got to bring home my first hand-built, glazed dish!

Photo of my hand holding up a pinch pot goblet cup thing I made like a tea cup with a big handle. The glaze outside is a dark blue and the clay is red. I had wax some shrimp like shapes as a pattern around it so the glaze doesn’t show in those spots the red clay shows through and the inside I glaze a different brown color that as it mixed with the blue turned a cool grayish tone

today is the last day to make orders this year! if you’re looking for unscented candles that bring warmth and light to the indoors, “sky watching” is my signature 3-tier pillar with hand-painted clouds and - new - sky color options 🦩💜🦋🐦🦨 bugsrock.online/shop#!/sky-w...

Photo of my pillar candle that’s three tears. There’s a square green tier for the grass a cylindrical sky, where I hand paint the white clouds onto a blue background and a yellow sun. This candle has been lit for a couple hours, and I have little toy animals all around it

just sliced my tester with a hot butter knife. don’t try this at home, i am a professional and a woman (apple) stem 🍎🔪

Photo of me holding half of my sliced in half apple candle that shows it’s white on the inside with a red wax skin. I have been melting this candle for about four hours already, and so the green leaf has melted in with the red and the white to create a greenish gray circle around the top.

this is merely a wick test happening, but the glass is doing great and i am going to be introducing gift packaging for them. i have been working on a site redesign, too, so most of the work has been behind the scenes.

usps said someone picked up my box of discontinued periwinkle glasses last night which is untrue! i feared they were gone forever *and* that i would have to go through the song and dance of reporting mail fraud…but then they suddenly appeared where they belong. these will be fun 🪁🪁🪁

there’s no science behind beeswax candles cleaning the air but candle-making content creators and sellers love to add it as an anecdote to sell. lies do not rock! burning *anything* in your home will decrease air quality

Screenshot of the YouTube video called “beeswax candle DIY great handmade gift idea” and the caption of what the creator saying says “than other candles they also neutralize balloons by producing negative ions”

from bottom-left and counter clockwise, you can see the evolution of my “sunny side up” tealight candle design. there are some steps missing from the slab, living all over the country with friends who were kind enough to help me test these and my shipping workflow out #behindthebugs

photo of 7 cubic white egg candles with orange half sphere yolks in various shades and sizes. they are all different and, imho, get more refined as it gets to the top ones which are from my first release on bugs rock
