Sadly, I did not get as many pictures of Joy Stinger’s crafts as I wanted to as she was packing up for the day. And it would have been even better to get some pictures of her with them as one gets the sense that she would be intriguingly photogenic, but, alas, I am still a rather shy people photographer–OK, I suppose that only applies to people I don’t know.
This honey I bought is amazingly tasty. And, well, her ornaments and candles made of beeswax are always so pleasing to look at. For more info on Joy Stinger–her apropos name and why her city honey tastes better–check out this story in Feast Magazine.
Very pretty beeswax-crafted pieces. Even prettier: the honey. Deliciousness!
that is great, I could have given you questions to ask her, i just posted rendering my beeswax yesterday!.. c
I went and read her story and now i want to come and visit her, she looks like my kind of people! c
Yes, Cecilia, I bet the two of you would have lots to talk about. BTW, her honey is not nearly as dark as the picture, which was taken at dusk in a car. I also saw some of her molds for making these ornaments and such. Fascinating.
[…] Even though I have never bought any of these candles because I don’t know how to use them, I love looking at them as they give me a warm feeling. She keeps her own bees and has many, many cool molds to shape the beeswax into candles. More from Jane here and here. […]
