Hello! My name is April Wulfe Forsythe. I am based in North-Central Texas near Lake Whitney. I am a filmmaker, chandler and artist of many creative forms. Since 2020, I have focused on creating microbatch candles, wax melts, scented salts, potpourri, and perfumes. I am currently working on adding a bath and body line to Gory Dreadful Candle Co's product offerings. When not working on independent film projects or products for Gory Dreadful Candle Co, I enjoy painting, sculpting, fashion, traveling, hiking, yoga and drone piloting.
I am inspired by old architecture, abandoned places, gen-X nostalgia, films of yesteryear, and road trips to off the wall places. My personal design style is a combination of moody maximal and vintage nostalgia with a focus on the peculiar, whimsical, oddities, and macabre details of life and dark quirky fantasy. I often design by incorporating old school horror themes, mythological lore, folk horror, or dark academia aesthetics.
I enjoy composing custom items for clients and events, in addition to my current catalog. I am always open to connecting with other makers and collaborating on joint projects or participating in community services.
I am perpetually in the process of designing, or brain-storming what I am creating next. Stay tuned, to see the spooky boujee imaginative collections I have forthcoming!
