This weekend was all about chandlery!
I’ve been making beeswax candles from locally sourced wax for my witchy stall - a new business venture that I’m embarking on.
The tiny ones are mini spell candles that burn for exactly 30 minutes.
The largest candle burns for 120 hours!

But the hand-dipped candles are my pride and joy. They burn for around 7 hours each. And I’m so pleased with how they turned out.

"The Pull of Distant Places"

A new painting available through WOW x WOW Gallery for the “Follow the Universe” group exhibition opening today.

This piece was inspired by the Japanese term, mono-no-aware which roughly translates to "the fleeting beauty of things" or "empathy with the universe". It is the understanding that life is transient, and that this transience makes our experiences all the more precious and beautiful. Blossoms that bloom and fall are most stunning when captured between the precipice of life and death. The splendor of autumn leaves or migrating geese are ephemeral reminders that the natural cycle of life is evident everywhere, whether we see it or not. As an emotion, mono-no-aware falls somewhere between sorrow and serenity. The fragility and inherent brevity of an instance of awe only aids in heightening the event’s brilliant, albeit melancholic nature. Understanding and accepting the uncertainty of our existence helps us evade the overwhelming feeling of morbidity associated with our impermanence, instead highlighting our ability to enjoy life by appreciating its fleeting moments.

Key to breathing normally after my lung #cancer surgery has been daily walks. I don't need a stick, but got used to carrying it to feel safer from #joggers and cyclists who get too close!

This is my Grandfather's, so maybe 60 years old? I recently rubbed down some of the thick varnish that was peeling off. I've made it a #reuse project as it's the right length, my grandfather was 6'3"!

It's wet with woodstain, this is the 2nd time, and I'll be sealing with 100% #beeswax later :blobcatcoffee:
