i was working on a brick pad last week and thinking that the 11 inch pad is about the right size to make into a candlemat if i used a thinner core. i’ve also been looking at the autumnal fabrics that are being put out this year and i’m falling in love with them.
samhain (halloween) is my favorite holiday on the wheel, especially for religious reasons that i may get into at a later date. i have a lot of samhain-ish knick knacks but nothing really to tie into my alter, especially since my alter often ends up scattered around my living areas. i’ve been lucky enough to not get into a situation where i have to go completely underground with my beliefs but there have been times when it’s been stressed to me that the more subtle the better. my alters (except for my private personal alter) often don’t really look like such anyway.
i’m thinking that once i start working i’m going to get some of the autumn fabrics that are out and make myself some candlemats. if they come out well i may list some.
** if you’ve been noticing some bizarre spikes in the number of posts it’s because i’ve been putting some stuff on delayed publishing and then forgetting about them.
