Candlemaking

[poliphilo]

It was my ex-virtual-daughter-in-law who got us into scented candles. It helped that Ikea was selling them off at ridiculous prices. But then Ikea ran out of sale stock and feeding the habit became expensive. So Ailz bought us a kit and we're making our own. Thus far we've been recycling scrap wax and candle ends. 

The latest batch is pink.

Getting the wicks to stand straight is the tricky part. We haven't properly figured it out yet. I wonder how the pros manage?

That a shame about the allergies. I'm allergic to something- and take pills to stop the symptoms- but I'm not entirely sure what.
