New Hobby... for now anyway.

Like I said, I've been trying out a new hobby, making candles and such with beeswax. I made this beeswax luminary (the pictures are front and back) last night and I'm just so pleased with it I had to share. I love how it glows! I got the idea off a site that doesn't exist anymore, but got the how-to off this site and added the pressed leaves. I just used a tea candle inside, but may try other things like making my own beeswax tea candles or something (not that I'm that much of a purest or anything :)). Right now it's actually holding my pumpkin spice votive candle just because I like the smell and I'm running out of room for all these candles!

Mine would look like a kindergartner did it. I'm tempted to try just so I can send you the pix. I love how talented you are.
