Incense and Herb Bead supplies do not ship outside the U.S.
Brass Screen Incense Burner
If you burn resins or loose incense blends on charcoal, this is THE burner to have. The screen holds the charcoal, and there is a separate wooden base to help diffuse the heat to protect furniture. 3" diameter.
White Sage Liquid Smudge
We grew and distilled some lovely White Sage (Salvia apiana). The resulting hydrosol is perfect for clearing the air and bringing a more peaceful sense when burning incense is not an option.
We have 1 ounce spray bottles of "Liquid Smudge", or handy 5 ml spray bottles of "Pocket Smudge" that can go along wherever you go.
Herb Beads - how to and recipes
Short booklet (20 pages of text) with easy to follow instructions for making beads out of botanicals. Step-by-step photos and several different recipes to try. Information gleaned from years of giving classes on bead-making. Small but mighty! Color cover, saddle-stitched.
Botanical Bead Powders
We've taken some of the best, most fragrant herbs and spices and made pre-mixed powders for you to make into beads.
All you need to do is add a liquid - water, wine, hydrosols ... form into beads, and string on sturdy wire to dry.
Mix and match for interesting pieces. Approx. 1/8 cup per tube.
Herbal Incense Booklet and Kit
We call this one a "just add water" kit because there are two packets of pre-blended incense powders included, along with the booklet that tells you how to create more.
Making Your Own Incense
by Tina Sams and Maryanne Schwartz. We wrote this one back in '99 for Storey Publications. Everything you need to know to start out making incense. Great little 32-pager.
Gum Tragacanth
Astragalus gumifer used as a bonding agent in handmade incense and herbal beads. 1/8 tsp. to 1 ounce of warm water forms a great "glue" for these projects.
Salt Petre - 1 ounce
Added to incense blends to make them self-igniting. Used in a proportion of 1 to 10 by weight (10 parts of a combination resins, botanicals, and woods - see our book, Making Your Own Incense).
Myrrh - 1 ounce
Commiphora myrrha - a reddish brown resin with a deep, dark, haunting scent. Often combined with other resins, particularly frankincense.
Frankincense tears - 1 ounce
Boswellia carteri produces the bright sunny smelling sap known as frankincense.
Copal - 1 ounce
Hymenaea courbaril Mayans considered copal food for the gods and used it during worship ceremonies. This grade is a pale yellow. High, thin and piney scent with a fuller woodsy background.
Orris Root Powder - 1 ounce
Orris Root is used to help fix scents in items like potpourri, incense, and beads.
yellow sandalwood powder - 1 ounce
This deliciously fragrant wood powder smells exactly like the sandalwood essential oil that comes from it. The premier basis for handmade incense, precious and rare.
red santal powder - 1 ounce
Often used as a base for handmade incense, the rich red color is also used to dye fabrics and as a colorant in soap making.
white sage (smudge) - 1 ounce
Loose leaves and small bunches of the sage used in smudges and incense is resinous and full of fragrance.
pinon resin - 1 ounce
Deep forest scent, this resin is moist and fresh.
Padmini Dhoop Incense
Sweet, floral scent is one of my favorites. The sticks are mini's - only 2.5" with 10 sticks per package. Each box has a rivet on the top that functions as an incense holder while it burns. I ran across these in an ashram's gift shop a decade ago and have never been without a few boxes ever since.
Charcoal for Incense
These self-igniting charcoal disks are great for burning resins and loose incense blends. 10 disks to a package, they last nearly an hour each.
Note: Because of their shape/size, shipping charges are high - so it's best to order them along with some resins or maybe you need a brass screen incense burner!
