Oh Well. If you light it you lose it but what a pretty ride. Thanks for showing that sequence, it was interesting. How much do you sell your candles for?

thanks ben! although it is a love/hate thing to burn each little guy down, knowing that he did a great job filling my room with enchantment ( nice glow and coconut/pineapple scent) gives me peace. That, and knowing I can walk across the room and make another is nice too! haha! this guy burns for over 20 hours and is an absolute STEAL at $12 dollars...thanks for asking! I'm peddling at tiki oasis again this year! it's getting close! I can't wait!

Maybe you say this somewhere else...but incase you haven't...do you scultp each one individually or do you make a mold and cast the candles in their tiki shapes?
Just curious...very cool stuff, by the way. I think tikis look pretty cool when they have a glow about them...makes them look more ominous.

thanks for the interest! I carve the originals and then make a silicone mold which is very durable and allows me to cast many different materials...now I'm casting candle holders out of cement so you never lose your sculpture!
