Blake and Anu here from Second Nature Studio in Dickson, Alberta! We’re new to the area and very happy to share our craft with everyone!
I’m an electrician from Nova Scotia and she is the kindest accountant from Mumbai, and we’re most often found working on one of many projects at our new home or chasing our dog Sue around!
A little story about how this began:
- Candle making came first to help warm up our new very old, very cold home. Started by refilling old candles before we started to really get into making them from scratch. As we dove into the science of candle making we quickly found what we liked and what worked best.
All natural clean burning coconut soy wax, wood wick that burns so beautifully and packaged in a useful cozy mason jar that could be found in any of our homes! Available in 8oz and 16oz.
- Then came making our own cold process soap! From the very first batch we knew we had a new passion on our hands! We’ve since refined 12 wonderful hand and body bars that are uniquely captivating with every use!
Every bar is specialized including natural fruit extracts, luscious shea/ cocoa butters, food grade oils, real flower petals, activated charcoal, natural exfoliants and more!!
Guaranteed to enjoy!
- Bath bombs are a really great way to get our epsom salt in and baths for all around self care!
Our first batch came at the request of a friend’s child who wanted a little toy pressed into his bath bomb and we were happy to help!
- Soap Coasters! Hand made epoxy soap coasters with incredible natural touches throughout every piece! Very eye catching, a beautiful touch for any bathroom!
- Custom wood art will also be available in the future as we continue to utilize our CNC router, laser etcher and carpentry skills!
We look forward to continuing to grow our skills, friend circle and lives in this wonderful community of ours! See you in Markerville!!
