    In the 70's, those were called "dust catchers" because they are too pretty to light and once the dust settles in the folds it was impossible to clean.

    If I recall correctly from years ago watching videos like this, when these candles burn, only the core melts due to the different kinds of wax used. So, if you were to burn one down, you would still have the decorative shell as display. These candles are beautiful to watch being made. I wish that we saw the unedited carving and dipping. It’s a long yet short process that is just so satisfying. And I’ve watched so many of these kinds of videos on repeat that the novelty of each video goes down even though the candles themselves are so gorgeous.

      Would that mean that you can refill the cavity with a new wick and wax, or would the new hot wax cause the outside to melt?

      Someone gave my Aunt one of these in the 1980’s. She never lit it. In 2016, she died suddenly and one of her son’s lit the candle. It burned about an inch/2.54 cm and would not stay lit or burn anymore.

    I'm so glad you actually lit it for us! I'll never understand why people say they wouldn't burn these candles, that's like saying I wish I had an apple tree that never gave me apples. A candle was created to burn, the shame is only if it goes unappreciated.

      Some people have difficulty parting with something unique that wont be the same - like putting stickers on something for example. I used to be this way with candles, for example one candle from bath and body works they have never reprinted. I used to lament running out of it bc I would never have it again but then I realized if I never use it, it just sits there, and I won’t get to enjoy it.

    • @nowandaround312
      @nowandaround312 2 місяці тому

      People say they won't burn them because they want them to last longer. They're put on display as beautiful decorations, which is their primary purpose. I had one of these candles as a kid, I watched it being dipped and carved. People tried to convince me to light it but I refused. It sat proudly on my dresser for many years and was definitely not unappreciated.
      One of the comments claims the shell won't melt and that you can replace the inner candle but most people aren't aware of that and I'm not sure if that's actually true for all dipped candles.

    In the summer of 1979 I was a young teenager in Rockport, Massachusetts, and I used to stand by the hour & watch a professional chandler making and carving these exact same candle creations at a local tourist storefront near the entrance to Bearskin Neck! I was amazed at the talent of the chandler & wanted to learn the art myself (I failed, of course, as I didn't have the artistic talent needed).

    So no issues at all, free play!
    Touching each others faces🤣
    So Strange num hands, sometimes we could pull our hands out. And there was a perfect cast😎 We just dumped it back into the warm stearin… Scoutleaders had fun watching our creapy hand-face touch🤣

    Difficult to find candles now that don't come in glass. Most people don't bother to remove the wax and recycle the glass. I have beautiful candlehoders but have trouble finding pillars, tapers, votives. Into the early 2000s there were entire stores devoted to candles. So many beautiful designs. Hard to find now.

    Back in the day at the Disneyland hotel. There was a mobile cart with a person making these types of candles.
