While I do not draw all that often, I do have one fun limited artistic hobby at my disposal and that is making candles. I have made MANY different candles and this is the most recent one I made for my 5 year old. He said he wanted it to be yellow, blue, and green. So I made him this pillar candle. It is about 6 inches tall and has a 2 inch diameter. I am still envious of toto's paper wallet though!  I may have to put some of my sketches on here at a later date. Attachments:

Sweet! I wonder if there's a way to make a VA Radio candle. Every time I've ever made a candle, it always came out looking like a worm frozen while having a seizure. lol |

I can probably make a custom VA Radio candle... It wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

never tried to make a candle before, how intricate do these candles get?

They can range from a basic one color pillar poured candle to a very intricate carved multi-layered dipped candle. There really is no set limit it is all based on the talent and motivation of the candler. You can google carved candles and see what I mean by "intricate". It takes quite a bit of training to learn how to cut and move the wax in that way... I haven't got it down yet. not even close.

Good, now make a purple coloured candle with some dark red to it.
