Wax Melts gifts for the season:)

 As we know candles are beautiful decorative objects and source of wonder & delight in many ways. Making candles in different size/shapes and in different colours...it's a creativity with joy and each one is work of art. I got inspired to make wax melts this week-end, made fruit shaped wax melts with used candles. I used lemongrass oil to the wax liquid for the fragrance.  It's so easy to make with bit of care. All that we need used candles or wax, fragrance oils/essential oils, tray moulds & sheet of  waste paper. Wax moulds are becoming popular these days as gifts . 

Melt the candles in the double boiler add the fragrance oil to the melted wax and pour the wax liquid to the tray moulds. Before pouring the wax liquid to the tray place the trays on the waste paper sheet from surface becoming dirty. Allow the wax to cool. Later gently remove the wax melts from the moulds from sides with a knife without breaking.

As festivities are nearing home made wax melts can be packed in small boxes or in bottles tied with ribbons and gifted away.  

How to use wax melts? Place one or two wax melts on the wax burner and keep a tea light under for the melts to melt.

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M

Falling in Love with Fall

Learning is always the best thing to do in life. To learn all about fall and the things associated with this time of year was informative and enjoyable. Fall can be romantic and poetic with the change of colours & with the first frost and falling leaves. The season is all about the display of colors in nature & about fruits like Plump Pumpkins, Red Berries, Nuts, Ornamental Gourds, Rosy Pomegranates, along with Apples, Pears, decorative coloured cabbage & pretty-frilled leaves. Other things include welcoming wreaths, sturdy baskets, potpourri, wooden trugs, pottery bowls jugs, pitchers & terracotta pots.Copper and brass add charm to the season. Colours most used in Fall include burnt orange, green, golds, browns, reds, pinks, rich mauves and so on. I have given a finishing touch to this corner with the elements of Fall and it looked beautiful.                                      Thank you for your visit:):)
