Featured Team CAC Seller

Sorry about not having a featured seller last week, the time flew by me so fast that it wasn’t until it was too late that I realized I didn’t have anyone.   No, you’re not getting two this week to make up for it.  Just one, Simplypuresoycandles.

Please describe your creative process (the how, the when, materials, etc.).

Is there any kind of music you listen to when you create?

No I like to concentrate!

What's your biggest artistic disaster to date? How did it help you progress?

Well I am bad at putting the wrong color in my wax!! Like if I am making lemon, of course it needs to be yellow well sometimes it doesn't get yellow, but maybe blue or green! LOL but after about 3 times of that... I pay very close attention to what i lay on my work table!

What's your favorite piece that you've done?

My favorite things that I make are my candles, I made a rustic pillar for Christmas that was black and red and it was my fav! Scented in Apple Jack.

What's the best advice you were given when starting out?

Take it slow and make sure your product is worth buying!

Do you have any advice to give others?

Just because others make items/products doesn't mean that everyone can. It is not as easy as you think! Everything gets better with practice!

What's coming up for you; any big plans artistically?

Well every April there is a store that lets me place my items there and we do very well until November! So I am very excited about that.

Where can we find you? Both online and in stores.
