I had never heard of a birth blessing candle until I was asked to make these tags by a pregnant colleague of mine. Each guest at her baby shower will get a candle with one of my tags tied on to light when she goes into labor.
I made 16 for her all together. Everything is water colored by me (40+ individual fish! and 16 ponds) I have so many extra fish to stick around my house and office now She asked for winter colors after seeing some floral tags I had made. The baby will be a Pisces, my inspiration for the fish positions.
The text reads (provided by them):
Please light this candle and say a thought or blessing when Tess goes into labor. As the candle burns, let it be a reminder to send your love as she brings her child into this world.
I haven’t heard of a birth blessing candle, either. It’s a neat concept. Your design is so pretty and also relaxing. I like how you tied the water theme in with Pisces. My son is also a Pisces!
You are all so lovely to send the compliments. I have real esteem issues when it comes to my art so hearing outside perspectives means a lot to me. Thank you!
