Eternal Bloom Bouquet, handmade soy candle by Melted Stories

Founder of Melted Stories

Meet Indu Babu

Indu founded Melted Stories in Trivandrum, and every candle passes through her hands: bouquets that never wilt, desserts too pretty to eat, and little bears that stay on the shelf long after the occasion.

Her story

  • A maker of many crafts

    Candles are one of many crafts in Indu’s hands. She also makes resin art, scrapbooks and memory albums, mandala, doodle and mixed-media pieces, which she shares as Artfolio by Indu. That range shows in the candles: an eye for colour, the patience of mandala work and the clean finish of resin.

  • Every step, by hand

    She prepares the wax, pours, and sculpts each petal, macaron and bear one at a time, then finishes and packs every order herself. New designs start on her worktable, and so do custom orders in your colours and scents.

  • At fairs, stalls and workshops

    You’ll often find Indu behind a Melted Stories stall at craft fairs and pop-ups around Trivandrum. She teaches too, guiding beginners in candle making, resin art, scrapbooking, mandala, doodle and mixed media.
