I actually got organized this month and took a picture of my November Sampler contribution before it went out. Little incense leaves, made out of a wonderful blend that smells like baking indoors while burning a leaf pile in the backyard. It's got: cassia, nutmeg, red cedar, port orford cedar, clove, oak bark, dragon's blood, and sage. I ended up making nearly 100 of these, which makes me happy. I hope people burn them; the shapes are fun, but the real craft is in the scents.

I also threw a few packets of the loose incense I made for Mabon in there, because it was amazing and I had extra and I'm sure I'll want to experiment again when the time comes around next year rather than use this years stuff. It's got a lot of the ingredients above, plus a bunch of chamomile e.o. because that reminds me of apples, and the whole thing was aged with a little single-malt scotch in it. :) Rich!





I'm a little nervous because I sent it to Marie Friday, and she hasn't got it yet, but the official deadline isn't until tomorrow.

I need to make some more of these, since it looks like I'll be doing a witchy show in November after all, as well as more of the incense snakes. Working on my top-secret 'trib for December/January too, but I'm not going to share until I am sure it will work, and it's not what I want in the first two rounds.

Wow, those leaves are amazing. That is so cool. Why don't more people make incense in interesting shapes, I want to know? You've made it into art!
