Candles of pure beeswax from my own hives
and others in the area are dipped or poured in the kitchen studio.
The
6" lengths (above photo) take anywhere from 35 to 50 dips
depending upon
temperature of the wax,
room temperature, desired smoothness of the
candle,
and my
patience on that day!
With
twine from the goat-food bags
pairs of beeswax candles become:
CookingWraps with dried peppers
or cinnamon sticks or rosemary or pinecones.
BathWraps with
chunks of handmade soap,
and
herbs or flowers from my garden studios.
As with all works of art, no two are identical.
NO LONGER AVAILABLE
Beeswax tapers measuring 10" long are poured in my great
grandfather's candle mould
which still occasionally oozes tallow from
its seams.
Four generations of use have created
a variety of dents and
shapes for each of the six ports.

Pure beeswax candles burn brighter, cleaner, and slower
than petroleum wax candles
and they emit gentle wafts of honey
which was originally stored in the comb.
no draft = no drip
