A big batch of spiral taper candles is ready for wrapping.
Melted candle scraps fill a floating heart candle mold.
A cooled candle is ready to be removed from its silicone mold.
Trimming the excess paper from glass magnets and pushpins requires meticulous attention.
Wire, a wreath frame, and plenty of patience turns foraged pinecones into beautifully rustic home decor.

Reducing, reusing, and recycling in action!

It all started with a candle mold...

OK, it really started farther back, with a childhood full of craft projects, soap and candle making, recycling, composting, and all kinds of creative reuse activities. Now I am passionate about raising my own kids with the same lifestyle values. When my dad gave me a candle mold 10 years ago, I saved candle stubs and drippings to recycle into new candles to give as gifts. Soon enough, I found that not only were recycled gifts really fun to make, but other people loved them too!

I began digging out other gift ideas I’d toyed with in college — pine cone decor, glass magnets, recycled greeting cards, miniatures, natural craft supplies — and expanded my product range. The common thread that runs through my shop is that each item represents either a reincarnation of material that has been rescued from the waste stream or a creative use of a natural material. I also involve my four sons as much as possible in the crafting processes; I am proud to show them that things can be made by hand and life can be lived thoughtfully.

Inspired by the Earth’s elliptical orbit around the sun, Elliptical Sunrise products provide a new beginning for recycled, reclaimed, and natural materials. All items are handmade by me and my family in the beautiful mountains of Plumas County, California, with an emphasis on upcycling, sustainability, and support of other small businesses. Thank you for thinking of the planet and small-scale industry with every eco-friendly purchase!

Owner, Maker

I've been a "maker" all my life, and no matter how busy I am raising a pack of mountain kids I always treasure the time I can set aside for handcrafting. The projects we do as a family bring the most joy!
