This is one of those days when I look around and wonder if I will ever get caught up. I love what I do and I have so many addictions - oops - crafts, that I can't seem to stay current on all of them. I am gradually paring down what I do, but it will take a while. I am also trying to get a way from buying containers. When I have used up all of the clamshell containers for wax melts, I will be using only molds. I don't like having to throw away the plastic containers. I am in the process of pouring some molded wax melts with each batch of clamshells that I make.
Yesterday my printer decided to start giving me grief. The color was all distorted. I took it up to our trusty repair guy, Matt Peacock from MyTown Computers. I cannot function without my printer so I will be glad to get it back. Thankfully it was just a leaky cartridge, but it also probably needed a good cleaning.
I started using the new batch of wax today and poured two cake candles and a couple of votives. Beeswax is a bit of a pain because it sets up fast and leaves a coating on the pour pot and the utensils. When I am done pouring I have to scrape off the residue and re-melt it. I have a couple of wax melters so I may consider just devoting one to beewax.
Here is an example of the difference between the white wax and the yellow. I love the white, but I am thinking I will go with the yellow since I am transitioning to sourcing locally.
