Beeswax Candles--1 3/4 inch votives

Ruth Russo

Hand poured beeswax votive candles measuring approximately 1 3/4 inches tall, with cotton wicks and thrifted candle holders. Candles are approximately 75% beeswax, 20% soy wax, with perhaps 5% paraffin and bayberry wax from the reclaimed ends of old candles. Candles can be rubbed with a soft cloth if a dusty “bloom” appears on the surface. Please use caution and do not leave candles unattended when burning. Available at Zen West: single in blue holder ($3); pair in cherry blossom or clear holders ($6); two pairs without holders ($5 each).
