All of this time at home has brought back crafty James– the one who teaches himself latte art, screen prints original designs, makes his own wine and kombucha, and once sewed a pair of kid-sized jeans.
James continues building out his e-commerce offerings. After selling multiple felt banners, and possibly inspired by a blackout during Week 1, he decided to make candles. I volunteered to name his candles and write the descriptions.
Here’s what I’ve got so far…
Tiger King: This soothing scent is one part lavender, one part leather. Erase the unease brought on by polygamous cub petting, pink camo, piercings, and padlocks. Melt away the anxiety of flower crowns and fringe. My purrsonal favorite.
Ozark: Does pandemic prison have you longing to throw on your trunks and head to the lake? This candle conjures the ease of a day on the water with middle notes of teakwood. As the evening turns to twilight, enjoy the warm scents of amber, vanilla, and beach bonfire. Base notes of poppy and clean cash.
Narcos: Take your staycation up a notch. This candle evokes the luxury of a certain lifestyle, minus the shootouts. The perfect ambient addition to a Netflix binge or Zoom date. Exotic notes of candied grapefruit may just have you popping the top on that White Claw a little early.
