Works in Progress

After the pigments are applied to the candles, the beeswax is manipulated with heat, hands and other tools. Each candle is unique. Some resemble knotted tree branches, twisted and turned others are smooth and serpentine. Sometimes there is a lot of color on the candle and often the color is reduced greatly to allow the beeswax to glow through the negative space. This reduction process is what breathes life into each piece of beeswax.
