Embossed candle
Susan,
I was looking for pictures of decorated candles, and came across your site. Normally, I draw my design on thin paper, tape that to the candle, redraw with pressure to transfer the design, and then remove the paper. The candle now has an incised design which can be rubbed with sepia-toned oil paint to yield a lovely antique effect. This is suitable for Scandinavian gripping beasts, Celtic knots, or Renaissance scrolliosis. Oil paints can be used like watercolor (thin washes)for delicate painting. I prefer oil-based pigments when working on a waxy surface.
You'd asked for information about tissue-paper-safe candles. At Michael's craft store, a couple of days ago, I found LED flickering candles - NO FLAME - coated in wax. They came in 3 sizes, 2 pale shades, vanilla and unscented (I'm allergic to perfume). The company is Inglow. You can search for the company on the web.
I'd suggest adding the batteries first, to see where the glow is brightest, and designing from there.
Regards,
Carolly
