Where there are children, there is discovery! About ten years ago, when my daughters were preteens, they found instructions online for tie-dyeing at home using bathroom grout mold remover, fabric dyes, and a fork. I was at a theater rehearsal that day. My daughters called and, knowing I couldn't talk for long during rehearsals, quickly asked if they could use my cotton clothes for tie-dyeing. I agreed, thinking they meant a couple of T-shirts. When I got home, I discovered that everything cotton in my wardrobe had been sacrificed to the god of tie-dye. Most of my clothes now glowed in lovely shades of orange, purple, yellow, pink, and light blue. Even today, the tie-dyed T-shirts and jeans are my standard work clothes at my summer workshop near Alūksne. The “Batiked” collection is my story about children's desire to explore the world and the resources parents provide to make that exploration possible. And, yes, about the smile that appears every time I put on another tie-dyed shirt.

You can see all the pieces in the "Batiked" collection here!  The images show prototypes of pieces in the collection. Each candle is made according to the collection's special formula, but each is also a unique handmade piece, so the container's design may differ slightly from the one shown.

Candles in concrete containers have an excellent feature: as the candle burns, the container walls heat up and help the flame melt the wax, so the candle burns completely without leaving a layer of unburned wax on the walls. The base of the candle container is thick enough to prevent it from overheating and damaging the surface beneath it. If you are concerned that the container might damage the surface it rests on, you can buy candle coasters with a heat-resistant oak veneer finish in the "Candle Coasters" section. Once the candle has burned down, you can easily refill the container yourself with a new candle by purchasing a 500-gram pack of palm wax granules in the "Loose Candles" section. One pack is enough to refill the container 4 times. It also includes two types of wicks and instructions for making the candle. Of course, after the candle has burned down, you can also place any ready-made candle that fits inside the container, or use it for other household purposes, such as a vase. The concrete container is not suitable for storing unpackaged food.

Delivery options and costs are listed in the "Terms" section.

Technical product information. On the first burn, let the candle burn until the entire top layer of wax has melted (1–4 hours, depending on the container diameter and number of wicks). Before relighting, trim the wicks to 1 cm above the wax surface.

General hazards. Never leave a burning candle unattended! Burn candles out of reach of children and pets! Always leave at least 10 cm between burning candles! Do not burn candles on or near anything that can catch fire! Do not place candles in a draft! Do not place candles near heat sources! Do not place candles on their sides! Always use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame; do not blow it out! Keep matches and other foreign objects out of the melted wax to prevent ignition! Do not move a burning candle! Do not use liquid to extinguish it! The container walls become hot while the candle is burning! Do not use the container to store food.
