Deadly HeadshotToday's candles are starting to look like carrots! #candlemaking
I also melted and recast one of the failed ones from before (the one that, when lit, just spilled everywhere). That's now a moulded candle. #CandleMaking
Observant followers might notice I'm using a different wick type from before. This one isn't as stiff (sadly), but is supposed to burn better and I have more of it now than the other anyway. #CandleMaking
Unfortunately, wax shrinks as it cools... #CandleMaking (spindle on first 2 images for scale)
I amalgamated 2 spent shop-bought candles and added some extra wax to make a candle that refilled one of the tins they came in. #CandleMaking
#CandleMaking time again! #Candles #candle #candledipping
This one was using an off-white "burnt vanilla" scented wax, yet cane out orange again!
Ĺukasz Ĺukasik@dheadshot damn! You're a candle maker?? What a coincidence, I loove to light a candle each evening before I wind down and go to sleep.
@virious Hopefully you don't leave it burning while you're asleep? That would be a recipe for house fires...
@dheadshot of course I donât! I also have a small tool to cover the candle to put out the fire (donât now the proper name for this utility).

Laura@dheadshot They do look like carrots. Yours is, I think, the first post via Masodon I've figured out how to reply to. An old dame can learn new tricks.
@ldb Welcome, then! Your ASCII art is really good, BTW!
@dheadshot Thank you. :)
