Candle-making! At last. I have more wax cappings to melt but first I need to buy lots of stockings. It takes a lot -- it's a messy business. But fun.

I think these pictures pretty much tell the story of my maiden attempt at candle-making. I know I wasted some wax because I let too much of the stocking stuffed with the clean burr comb sink under the hot water. That caused a lot of the melted wax to stick to the stocking and it had to be thrown out.
