Fire Light Candle: Firelight candles are made in small batches in my home kitchen. Once the candles have cured, she uses a Circuit di-cut machine to print out vinyl designs that are specifically created for each scent. She carefully hand weeds out the designs from the vinyl sheets using a special tool and apply them to the candle jars. She has always been rejuvenated by the scenes and scents of nature and so she set out to capture that goodness by using all-natural soy, premium fragrance oils + essential oils, and pure bee's wax to craft each signature scent in an artistic candle.
