Candles

My son likes my candles. He nudges me to post post because when I am in the doldrums I constantly make stuff.
Yesterday I was sad about Sinead O'Connor being in a New Jersey hotel and crying suffering from being bipolar forgotten isolated  so I made red candles.
Here they go:


These were made with molds from a kit.


The one above  gave me trouble because I couldn't get it out of the bottom part of the mold. I put it in the freezer and then it came out pronto.  I don't know why.  Either the mold or the wax contracted


This one is my pride. I made her in a cherry tomato box mold. It looks like a sports hall. I  put around the opening of the box modeling dough to stop the fluid wax flooding out. It has 4 wicks because I don't like it when huge candles have just one wicks. A waste of wax.


The above I made in spring.  Since I had a bit of wax left I poured it on top of it.

And this one has geranium petals from my window sill potted flower. I like looking at it floating in the melted wax. 

 

Light for my brother and father and my tomcat.
And Sinead O'Connor and all the forgotten artists who gave much.
