I made some stuff. Perhaps you would like it.

I'm getting set up to load new things at Mother's Hearth and etsy, but thought I'd offer them to you guys here first. $3.50 covers shipping of any of this to US/Canada. Thanks for looking!


Festival Incense Travel Tin Festival Incense Travel Tin
Handpainted aluminum tin, 1 1/2 X 2 inches, with a Fimo and glitter moon face. Filled with 10 cones of "Festival Smoke" incense, a bright summery white sage based blend, or I can substitute another basic scent of your choice. The tin is also the right size for perfume sample vials if you swing that way. I have a whole bunch of these. $7.50. (Want the tin but not incense? $6.00. Want the incense but not the tin? $3.50.)
Zukoh Body Incense Zukoh Body Incense
Zukoh is a traditional blend of aromatic wood and spice powders that is rubbed on the hands for ritual purification, as well as for actual disinfecting. In modern times it also works as personal scent, rubbed between the palms or applied at pulse points. This is my own recipe, and I really love it. Presented in a round inlayed tin. I have a few of these, though the tins vary a bit in the inlay. $12.
Rockabilly Demon Necklace Rockabilly Demon Necklace
Handpainted Fimo charm with glass and plastic beads. 22 inches long. So fun! $10.
Handpainted Cat Necklace Handpainted Cat Necklace
Fimo cat face, about 1 3/4 inches tall, presented on black rattail cord. $8.
Tribal face necklace Tribal face necklace
Fimo, bone, glass, pearl, tiger eye, agate "fangs". 22 inches. This necklace has warped little mock-bone faces all along the length, as well as one as the charm, and reminds me of tiny headhunters or something. Really unique piece! $22.
Computer Key Earrings Computer Key Earrings
Earring studs made out of repurposed computer keys. The glue on the back is a little kludgy, but they're wearable and real conversation starters. Currently available in Insert/Delete, X/O, Page Up/Page Down, left/right arrows, + - and ?/. $4.


Please comment if you'd like anything. I'd prefer to take PayPal but can take credit cards through the site if you need that.

I need recommendations from you -- I can't use incense in the house, because of Ted, and the bird (or so I've been told) but I would love to get stuff to put on my fire pit. I was looking through your site and said "I should just ask what would be nice". Could you think of anything that would be nice to toss on the fire, strong enough to go through? Just to add to the atmosphere. I could just burn incense outside, of course, but I like the idea of putting stuff on the fire, for some reason.

I like throwing resins on the fire, because they last the longest in the hot flame. So if I were to recommend one thing it would be frankincense tears. Palo santo wood chips are also gorgeous and I think they'd come through nicely.

Now I just have to remember to pop over Thursday night and order some.

BEcause of Ted, I spend a LOT of time outside. Outside soothes him. So I like sitting by the fire and just relaxing. (I do a lot of yard work and playing too, but to wind down a busy day of play, it works nicely.)

fantastic!!
can i ask, how did you do that amazing finish on the first tin?!!

btw, have I directed you to revolution yet? like paypal, but free!

[identity profile] beetiger.livejournal.com 2008-06-02 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
The tins are done with alcohol dyes. Very easy to use, and the colors are amazing.

And no, I haven't seen revolution. I'm pretty dubious of most of the paypal clones, but feel free to throw me a referral link and I will take a look.
