Shalom Candle
"Melt away the negativity"

Sometimes we need something tangible to help us take control over our own thoughts. This candle is exactly that, a symbolic representation used to cleanse your mindset.

Pour out your negativity and set it on fire, literally.

The wax beads represent various melancholic energy. As the wick burns and the wax melts, focus. Visualize your dark thoughts, infirmities, and doubts melting away leaving you with pure, clean, positive energy.

Your mind is more powerful than you know. Be careful what thoughts you allow, they do manifest.

Purge every limiting, negative thought while graciously allowing yourself to be filled with renewed hope and positivity.

Breathe.

Inhale freedom, exhale heaviness.

Shalom.

I know it's just a little piece of a table in a gallery with dozens of other artists, but I still see this as a great victory. I built a brand, designed and created a product line from start to finish, AND someone liked it enough to sell it in their store. From this little space of table, there's now a second store wanting to carry my products. This is only the beginning, but I'm genuinely proud of what I've achieved so far. Gotta celebrate the little victories.

Can we REALLY QUICK talk about the insane amount of progress I've made in just TWO WEEKS?! lol I literally couldn't draw a person's head TWO. WEEKS. AGO. I'm proud of this one. The caricatures on the right actually look like people AND they look like the people I wanted them to (which, to me, is no small feat) hahah. I know patting yourself on the back isn't a good look.... But.... **Pat-pat**

This sunset is not even real right now. 😳

Kates face.... Take 2 (and 3 lol). 🎬.

Proportions are still getting better 😂 BUT it's unrecognizable. THAT COULD BE ANYONE. Annnnnd I gave her a lazy eye in the first try of the day (right side). Now I gotta get better at translating uniqueness lol. Okey let's go.

Dark or light? 🌓

PROGRESS PIC! Lol clearly still need work on the basics but haii I’m getting better. 💁🏼‍♀️

So, when I first started this thing I had a tiff with Etsy, right? They had shut down my shop due to “suspicious activity” when I had just logged in from my phone and it was very difficult to get a hold of customer service to get it up and running again. Needless to say, it put a sour taste in my mouth. In addition to that, they take nearly 10% of sales by the time I get paid through transaction fees, processing fees, etc., which at the time, I thought was super high.

That being said.. I now realize what an asset Etsy is to a small business, like myself, just starting out. They have an intuitive, easy to use platform that simplifies transactions at little to no start-up cost.

Initially, I was so frustrated with the company that it drove me to build my own ecommerce website, and now I see what a great service they’re doing for the little guys.

I have made a few wrong turns, but this is a learning process and I’m happy to be on it. That being said, if anyone is in a similar boat and has questions about their Etsy store and/or building their own website I’ve got a solid pro-con list I’d be happy to share.

All things to the good!

kloveyoubye.

*whispers* taste the rainbow....

$15

I only have 4 of these bad boys left!! Now selling them for $15/each!!

This candle seriously smells like your boyfriend sprayed it with your favorite cologne and then you stole it out of his closet. If I could keep them all for myself... I would.

Pls help me move them so I can make fun new things!

Thanks, love you! ❤
