A.F.I. "Girl's Not Grey" Music Video

THE FIRST OFFICIAL WAX MELT OF PRISMATIC SKIES!!!!

The first official wax melt for Prismatic Skies is called, "Girl's Not Grey."  It is a dedication melt to the band, A.F.I. (A Fire Inside).  Check out the music video and song above!!!

Some of you may be aware that I have made TONS of dedication / inspired by wax melts when Magpie Designs was in business, before having to shut it down due to health reasons.

So I wanted to start Prismatic Skies off that way, and thought what a perfect way to pay homage to my favorite A.F.I. song!



Girl's Not Grey Anatomical Heart Shaped Wax Melt


The, "Girl's Not Grey," wax melt is made from soy and paraffin wax blend and is decorated with candle dye, mica powder, and glitter.

I saw the molds at a craft store when they had their Halloween decorations out and I just about lost my shit because it's an awesome mold, and the hearts are about the size of my hand!!!!!

The scent notes are pretty complex and fragrances I typically do not work with, but something just compelled me to blend these fragrances together and I am SO HAPPY that I did!

SCENT NOTES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Orange | Mirabelle Plum | Pink Rose | Hedione | Tonka | Pink Sandalwood | Plum Wood | Dragonfruit | Pineapple | Berries | Hibiscus | Flamingo Flower | Plumeria | Bougainvillea | Musk

It’s a perfect blend of exotic fruits and flowers, and also give a beautiful fresh outdoors feeling as well.

I didn't want to fully dye the wax so I did a little experiment of using a small amount of candle dye as well as mica powder, not really sure how it would come out.  I, of course, had to add glitter to my wax melt designs.  I always add glitter, haha.

I didn't want to add too much glitter because I didn't want it to take away from the details from the anatomical heart mold...losing the veins in the glitter design.

Like I mentioned, this is a dedication to the band, A.F.I.'s song, "Girl's Not Grey," off of their, "Sing The Sorrow," album put out by Dreamworks / Nitro Records in 2003.





Girl's Not Grey Anatomical Heart Shaped Wax Melts



I am so happy and in-love with these wax melts.  It felt great creating again.  I have been so excited getting everything ready and I can see that I am going overboard, but I don't care...I'm having fun with this!

Even if you are not familiar with the band or are not a fan of the band, I think it's still a melt that anyone can enjoy.




A look at the anatomical heart shaped silicone mold used for the creation of the melts



Just look at this cool mold!!!!!  I really wish that I bought more but honestly, it was a bit expensive, and I tend to not go crazy over molds unless I am having something specially made for me.  But I had to have this.  Hopefully I can find it online or hopefully the shop will have it again next year and I'll buy multiple.




A good idea of how big the wax melts are



Here I am, holding the, "Girl's Not Grey," wax melt.  As you can see, it is a fairly large wax melt.  It's almost the size of my hand.  Pretty impressive.

Big babies!!!!

I am so excited for you all to get these melts.  These are perfect.  Fruity and floral, makes me think of spring time.  They're beautiful.  I had such an awesome time making these!

Don't forget that Prismatic Skies opens to the public March 2024!


See you soon!

BEST SELLER: Krampus Greetings

  BEST SELLER:  Krampus Greetings I haven't written an article in sometime;  I have been busy with work, getting stuff ready for the launch of my website in March, and getting sick fairly often!  I wanted to write about one of my best sellers since the Magpie Designs days before it was introduced to the Prismatic Skies website .  Krampus Greetings ! I have always had an odd fascination about this whole Krampus lore.  I'm not German, so it's not something that I grew up with.  I grew up having German friends and I don't remember whose house it was and how exactly I came across an image, but it was at a friend's house during Christmas time and I legit thought they had Satan mixed in with all this Catholic stuff and Christmas galore.  I have no problem with Satan, Satanists, and Satanism, BTW.  I'm all for it.  Whatever floats your nads. From that moment on though, about the age of maybe 10 or 11 years old, I was sold on the dude...without...

Turquoise & Orange Resin Ghost Lamps

  The Turquoise & Orange Resin Ghost Lamps Hey Everyone!!! Vanessa here!  Just wanted to tell you a little bit about the resin ghost lamps that I am making.  Started these today.  Never made them before.  They're super cute so far, and I am hoping, and thinking they will be, these come out great. The Resin Ghost Lamps I didn't want to do traditional colors completely, but I also really wanted to do orange, because ghosts are typically done in white, clear, and silver.  I am planning on doing a bunch of different colors for more resin ghost lamps. I used Let's Resin turquoise color, and it's more on the green side of turquoise, rather than the balanced green & blue that turquoise typically is. I really like it as of now, but I am curious how it will cure. I'm coming up with some ideas for other ghost lamps that I want to do.  I want to play around with it. Let's Resin Orange & Turquoise Alcohol Inks The ghosts are fairly small.  Maybe t...

Girl’s Not Grey Creative Process Video

  The Girl's Not Grey Anatomical Heart Shaped Wax Melts Creative Process Video I have made a quick video to show you folks part of the creative process that I go through in creating wax melts.  It's not the best video...it's quite frankly my very first video that I have made and edited.  I have a lot to learn but I think I did rather well for it being my first time. I don't want to give too much away of how I create everything mainly because the fragrances that I have are my own custom made blends and I use a variety of different manufacturers, and have worked too hard to share that side of my creative process, but I'm open to showing more when the time comes.  Just certain things will not be shared. What Does The Girl's Not Grey Wax Melts Smell Like? Well, the scent notes are some things that I have never worked with before and was a bit hesitant at first because of what I wanted to mix them with.  I'm the type to think of something random and then I just g...

  Vanessa Theodore | Prismatic Skies Update for August 5, 2024 Been super busy lately but I do have some updates for everyone!!!  I have been creating tirelessly for the releases coming out for Halloween 2024.  I will have some new blends coming out for the September 1, 2024 release of the Etsy shop, but a lot of my creations have been geared towards the Halloween release. I do have some new oils for the Christmas and Chanukah holidays.  I am also bringing back some of my, "winter," Best Sellers. So what's been going on? HALLOWEEN GIFTSET BOX #1 : The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a new blend that I created that will be coming out Halloween 2024.  It will first be released as a LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL GIFTSET BOX .  The wax melt itself is considered to be a mini wax melt loaf because of its size.  It is in the shape of Texas.  Measurements will be available on the Etsy listing.

SOLD OUT: Magpie Treasures Candle in Hobnail Milk Glass

By

  MAGPIE TREASURES CANDLE:  Lemon Scented Candle In Vintage Hobnail Milk Glass Candy Bowl w/Lid I have been making Magpie Treasures Candles since December 2020.  Magpie Treasures Candles are handmade candles that I have created in (typically) vintage, rare, hard-to-find (not always - and they're usually more expensive) glassware. The glassware are typically mugs, cups, bowls, compotes, candy bowls, and the like.  The candles are made from a soy and paraffin wax blend and the fragrances are of my own creation/custom blend fragrances. I do not remember where I got this beautiful piece from, I think I bought it at a Savers here in New Hampshire . I wasn't always the greatest at making candles , but through A LOT of trial and error over the years, I have definitely gotten waaaaaaay better and the pieces have become much more beautiful, along with the fun treasures inside the candle . This beautiful candle was made in a fresh lemon scent that was made with fragranc...

  The Blogger / Blogspot QR Code Video w/Audio Not only do I get creative with my wax melts, resin products, resin decor, resin art, and fluid art, I also get creative with the ways that I promote my business and my art .  I like to create promotional animation videos , and I have been getting extra creative adding audio to my videos. I taught myself animation, video editing, and audio enhancements in the beginning of the year (2023) while I was home on short term disability recovering from surgery and health complications that followed.  I needed some sort of creative outlet to be able to cope with not having Magpie Designs anymore, and not really being able to move.  So I started to dabble with animation. I still have a lot to learn but I am quite proud of myself in what I have learned and what I have learned being able to apply it to my artwork and to now, to my small business, Prismatic Skies . What do you guys think?  Leave me a comment in the comments se...
