Carrie's designer
candles are made from a wax core with layered colors of paraffin
wax. After the layers of color are added, she uses potter's tools to
shave portions of the wax that are then folded, twisted, and molded
back into place. She has between seven and nine minutes to complete
the design before the wax cools. Her long-standing interest in art
and sculpture helps her create individual designs, sometimes
following color recipes she
has
already practiced and sometimes experimenting with new ones. The
finished candle is then dipped into a seal. Her candles are designed
so that the shell will remain intact and can be refilled with a
votive candle after the central core has melted.
Visitors are welcome to
watch Carrie as she works and explains the process and materials.
Groups are welcome to come in and dip their own creations. She has
entertained Girl Scout Troops and birthday parties with her
demonstrations. She will also create custom personalized designs for
