I love candles, but the flames and soot made me nervous! I tried the battery-operated ones, but I missed the lovely fragrances. So - I started making flameless candles! Also known as wickless candles, they are made of scented wax, just like a regular candle. The difference is, NO FLAMES! Instead, they use an electric "candle warmer" which heats them without an open flame. Some wax warmers will also work, if they have a flat tray that is about 3" wide. The delicately floral patterned glass jar is topped with a wax flower and filled with Lavender Woods fragranced wax that will scent your home for hours. Just set the flameless candle on the heating surface and the wax will gradually melt, releasing its fragrance. Just like a candle, but no soot or flames! Each jar holds about 3 oz.

You are buying hours of experimentation, success, and failure. You are buying perfect imperfection. You are buying days, weeks, and months of work. You are buying a piece of the heart and soul of the craftsperson.
