Candle carving
After I posted the video about art created by pouring paint, Mel V. and Paulo countered with links to this video of candle carving. I found additional (similar) ones here and here.
Thanks, Paulo. I've substituted your link, which has better resolution.
Mel, when I was (much) younger, I used to melt candles and drip the wax onto cool water, which generated some (very) unusual shapes (especially if you dropped the molten wax from a height so it plunged deeper before fixing). With the addition of a wick you had a floating candle or a very odd centerpiece candle.
Hi Stan,
ReplyDeleteI´ve found a version of this Youtube video in HD:

There is no musical track in this one, and the narrator is a brit.
Regards!
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm still thinking about what could be done with different candle shapes, there's got to be lots of possibilities there.
