    Oh i havent been on the forum in a few days, not like me at all, so im just trying to catch up and read a few posts. Those are gorgeous Henry! I used to make candles sometimes, they're fun to do. Years ago i used to melt the parafin wax, and add crayons for colour, and then i'd fill up a mile carton with a wick and some ice, and then fill with wax, the ice cubes melt, and you're left with little holes in the candle. Now i like making beeswax candles. I go to a craft store, and just buy a sheet of honeycomb looking wax, and you just lay down your wick, and roll into a candle. I love the slight honey scent. I love the coffee candle you showed once Henry, would love to know how you made that one :)

    That candle was bought by me not made by me. I am not sure how they made that one to have the coffee beans wrapped around the bottom.
