Hello Lovely FrienD!
So excited that you want to get to know me! Are you here for the short or the long story?
The Short Story
Silendras Craft is the one woman show that designs and creates jewelry for people who want to accentuate their style with handcraftet pieces of art.
On the other side she makes various vegan candles using only carefully sourced materials.
​
Working in her 8m2 studio with her dog and giant rabbit begging for more food and cuddles in the background (there isn't anything like too much food or cuddles!)
she turned her passion into a side business.
The Long Story
My name is Aline and I was born and raised in a small town near the lake of Constance in Germany. After my apprenticeship in biology I gave up my life in this beautiful tourist hotspot and moved to live and work in Basel Switzerland. A couple of years later I knew I wanted to stay in this region but closer to nature so I moved to a cute little village in France.
​
My curious self felt the need to constantly start to study new things next to work but nothing kept my interest any longer than half a year or a year... Until that one moment in 2020, when I decided to start making jewelry... and one and a half year later making candles! I just can't stick to doing only one thing ^^
​
Finally I found a field that is as vast and interesting as the science I am working in, and on top is giving me the possibility to create something with my own hands that brings joy and creates memories for others! What could I want more?
​
Well I have to admit this was actually not enough for me... I am making soaps for friends and family since years but never wanted to go into the struggle of selling them because it's quite expensive and complicated to do the lab testings, get a separate room etc. But I found something kind of related to this that I really like doing, and that's making candles!
​
Now I'm venturing the field of candle making with a strong eye on using only products grown and manefactured in the EU.
​
After a year of struggles opening my Business I am finally ready for it and hope you like my products at least as much as I like making them.
​
Greetings and kisses
Silendra aka Aline
