You guys ready to find out what the 50-cent mystery package that Geri bought from the swap meet contained?
BEESWAX SHEETS for candlemaking!! Supposedly "hand-rolled beeswax candles are virtually smokeless and dripless. They burn brighter than ordinary candles and have a light, sweet honey fragrance without the addition of any artificial fragrance." How cool is that!!
The pack came with a variety of colored sheets.
I found a video online that explained how to use it. This is my version. I first cut a sheet into fourths.
I put them all together and placed the wick on one side.
Then I rolled it up real neat and tight.
Here's my very first beeswax candle!! There are a variety of ways you can roll the sheets. I gave Geri back the rest of them so that she can try it out for herself.
You can check out a tutorial here or a video here.

that's a neat candle. So did you drop out of the pottery class?
No, I didn't drop out . . . kinda hanging in there still . . . but barely.
k..First of all..i wanted to make THE bowl..THE BOWL with a dragon on it..The Bowl that i was gona use to turn in for the assignment. I sooooo gave up on the original dragon.(But i will TRY to finish it) Tho yet again, by the time i got there (yes, i was late again..) i didnt have time to do my dragon for my bowl. So NOW i got a unfinished bowl soaking, with a mound of clay with a 'duck shaped-head' on it that will 'magically-turn-into-a-dragon' soakin as well..not to mention my original 8lb 'dragon of procrastination' thats been soakin for 6 weeks!! Sigh..There's just not enough hours in the day... :0( CQ
