When I’m formulating a new incense blend, each test batch of incense goes into a little paper bag. I keep them to refer back to as I move through the process, comparing each one to the last, and recording my impressions and measurements in my journal.
As you can imagine, I accumulate quite a lot of these bags.
Once I’ve finalised the blend I’m working on, it’s time to move them on. So here I am, doing a little cleaning house.
Though these bags represent hours of effort – and sometimes a few tears – I do quite like this part.
There’s a reason they’re not the final form, but they do make a nicely fragrant outdoor fire.
These are from a previous blend. But good news for me – and for you – I was in the mood to burn these because I needed space to house all the *new* test batches I’ve been making.
