These days my son asks me to read to him often the story of the Three Little Pigs and the Wolf. He by now understands the durability of a house of straw, a house of wood and a house of brick. While I would love to be able to offer to my friends the most durable option, a house of brick, that is beyond reason. Luckily many of them are in the position to offer it to themselves. I can celebrate with them the glorious step of buying a new house or moving into a new house, by offering a type of house, that does not exist in the options from the Three Little Pigs, but exists as part of the other stories by Candl’. A house of rapeseed wax, made in Europe, with materials from Europe. So far all the houses are of a beautiful color of choice: I was asked for a blue, a green or a pink house to fit the taste of the receiver. To fit the colors of their homes. I have not yet made just a natural colored one, to celebrate today’s emphasis on non-color, natural beiges. This version is also to come, either per order or as a preparation for someone more who wants to enjoy or give joy with a #house gift / #huisje cadeau. Also, I am preparing more types of houses of wax as more ideas and projects of shapes and forms are coming along.
