OK so Thanksgiving is over, and it is time to get creating and selling! I just tried soy wax, and I am not having much luck. The candles always have some kind of frosting. I have poured at 100, 125, 140, and 180 degrees. I don't know. I ordered some different soy wax today., hopefully it comes ASAP I have a show the 8th. AHHHHH. I will post the new candles when I get them done. Here is my new creations so far:

The Jewelry






Here are some of my jewlery pieces

the candles






here are some of my candles

the first time


Well, I'm here in the blog world! I just wanted everyone to know I have set up an etsy site where I sell my handmade jewelry, teacup candles, and will be adding photography prints soon. I hope you enjoy my store and like what you see. I really love making with my hands and I am very proud of my work!

My site is ecram1.etsy.com

I am located in Chicago, there is a lot of stuff for sale here. However in finding beautiful vintage teacups with saucers can be hard! I use Paraffin wax which has an extraordinary scent throw. It seems everyone is starting to go towards soy wax these days. Soy wax does not have the best scent throw and looks not as nice in the finished product. I will be using Soy wax in the future for the fact that it is environmentally better. But for now check out my candles with Paraffin wax.

For anyone who buys my candles I will refill your candle for 4 dollars. You must pay both shipping and handling and clean your cup all the way. This way if you are truly in love with your teacup candle you can get a refill. If not you have a beautiful teacup forever!

Right now I have a passion for wire jewelry. I experimented a lot in college with wire in most all of my projects. I hope you see my love and devotion to this craft I have found to be very fulfilling.

My Husband loves photography and took many photography classes in college. Soon we will be getting his prints on sale. Be on the look out! My Husbands dream, Matt, is to have a darkroom of his own. This wont happen as long as we live in the city:(

Talk to you soon! Marcie
