Hobbies: Candle Making

[ysabetwordsmith]

Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. This batch features hobbies.

Candle making is a hobby of creating candles from wax or fat. Different types of materials come from animals, plants, or petrochemicals. Their varying qualities influence the kinds of candles they can make.

I like candlemaking. We usually do it for Imbolc every few years. We melt old candles, crayons, etc. then make poured candles in small jars and firestarters with pinecones, egg cartons, or whatever.
