Feature Articles: Okay, so perhaps you want to downplay the "master" portion of the phrase -- at least for now. Give yourself some time, though. Before you know it, you'll be producing those exquisite candles. Let's face it, the fundamentals of candle making are pretty simple to grasp. You take hard wax, melt it down, reshape it, stick a wick in it and let it sit and re-harden. Pretty easy. This is even easier if you use beeswax, because that type of wax doesn't even need to be melted down. As crafts go, its ease ranks right up there with . . . well, I really don't think it get easier than this. And the end result certainly doesn't get any more beautiful than this. Paraffin was introduced in 1850. This artificial commercially manufactured wax, proved to be a welcome alternative to tallow -- the less than fragrant animal fat. Soon after this, chemist Michel Eugene Chevreul discovered the true nature of tallow. It wasn't composed of just one substance. It was created out of two distinct fatty acids -- stearic and oleic acids. From this discovery, he created a completely new substance known as stearin. When added to paraffin, stearin produced a harder, opaque, longer-burning candle. This made candles affordable and abundant! It, in effect, creating candle making as we know it today. Factory-made candles surged in popularity. Candle making by hand though was soon to pass the way of the dodo bird -- a thing of the past. Stronger, longer-burning candles Consider it candle's golden age. It were as if the world suddenly discovered the "bionic candle" -- "We can make it stronger, better, longer-burning!" And indeed candle manufacturers did! But still, there's something to be said for making your own candles. And the next chapter equips you with all the tools of the trade you'll need! Buddha stated..."Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
