I’m feeling much better, so I’m pouring candles today. For the fun of it, here’s a mini flash sale while I work: use code CANDLEDAY at checkout for 10% off. It does work on Fall/Holiday items!

I just need to get around to making the product page, really. And figuring out how to take a decent product photo for once…

This fragrance is just going to have to live with small labels for awhile because I printed an entire sheet of these and I’m a cheap old bastard who isn’t going to just throw them away
alexziebart.bsky.social
Finally had the energy to print some labels and only after doing so did I realize I was supposed to use the taller labels

These short ones are for something else ~_~

Are there any vtubers that are just tired old men

Can I do that one

I do believe I have Covid again because my sense of smell has completely disappeared. I uhhh will not be working on product development for my candles etc until it returns. Obviously.

Why are Tyson chicken nuggets like that, man. That ain’t chicken. That’s a cleaning sponge. What a horrendous texture. Turning meat into whatever those are is an affront to god.

“Should I be methodical about this test or just splort stuff in there”

Splort, obviously

I thought I used too much blue but I don’t think I used enough.

First pour used 4 drops and the hot wax looked BLACK so I backed off to only 2. But I think I should’ve gone harder? That first pour was also competing with vanillin content so idk. This was not a very scientific test.
alexziebart.bsky.social
Maybe a vanillin-heavy fragrance was not a good choice for learning to use wax dyes

I’ve managed to achieve brown and black

I’ll do a little test batch to check its performance, but where safety is concerned, it’s safe in concentrations WAY above what I’d use in carpet sprinkle. (Like, using the max safe amount in it would make very gross sludge and not be powder anymore.)

Were you interested in any of my current fragrances in carpet sprinkle form? I can triple check it and make sure it’s available for you!
alexziebart.bsky.social
Made a generic wax melt label just for product photo purposes, so every page has one. Of course, I have to retake it again, because I got some schmutz on the label…
alexziebart.bsky.social
Don’t have the right size labels yet, but did a test print of a warning label. Very exciting stuff. Truly.

The vast majority of my fragrances look to be safe (barring individual pet sensitivities). Only a few I’ll have to exclude. I just have to wait for my label sheets to come in, really.
alexziebart.bsky.social
Well, it works. So carpet fresh may be coming to my shop soon, after I comb through all the IFRA reports to check which fragrances are safe to use in it!
alexziebart.bsky.social
The fragrance(s) I used are, indeed, pet-safe and okay for use in this application.
