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.

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.

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.

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).

A lot of people had these in the 1970’s I wonder why they don’t make them anymore. Very beautiful!

These could make a comeback if they were all in muted toned. White, beige, gray, gold, silver, etc. I remember having these back in the 80's. Great to watch one made.

Never saw anything like this. It's amazing but also makes complete sense. It also seems very relaxing for the craftswoman. It's like the perfect job. Very nice.

I could watch candles being carved for hours on end. The drippings from the bottom of the candles make the most adorable little mushrooms that you can put a Wick in.

I learned this craft at 12...it's really incredible to be in a room with all the Drying candles hanging and all of the many colors of hot liquid wax...your process looks much cleaner and more organized even though i wa learning from a Master artisan. VERY COOL CRAFT THAT YOU CHOSE! ❤❤❤

Remember these being made and sold in shopping malls at the pop up kiosks in the 70’s

I remember dipping my candle at Cedar Point! Then watching them carve it. It was shades of lavender and purple and white and black! 😊

Beautiful! Definitely brings back memories as a remember my Aunties making these ‘back in the day’ ☺️ Thanks for sharing! 😍🦋

Боже какая красота! Люблю свечи, но такую прелесть ещё не видела! Молодец,ты мастер своего дела! Желаю дольнейших успехов в твоём творчественом труде. 👍🤩😊

That 🕯 is so beautiful piece of art. If I had one of those, I would keep it as a souvenir and would never burn it

I definitely remember these being very popular back in the 80s. I’m sure every grandma had one.

First time ive ever actually seen one of these lit and i almost cried 😢😢 when i was younger we used to go to Helen GA alot and would wath them make these gorgeous candles so obviously we owned several over the years but never lit any of them lol theyre just too pretty to burn!! But this is this first time ive seen these candles in years! I used to see them in certain stores but its just like the dissappeared! Was so happy to see this video and am now subscribed!!

Seeing these candles being made was so satisfying. I'm happy the candle was lit for us to see its beauty.

I remember they used to have booths in the mall that people would make these candles.

Nice job on that beauty💯 Just recalled bieng a boyscout! We Often made candles… At the end when it cooled a little off, we dipped our hands and making stearin hands… First two dips was hot! And rest was just fun! It was in the 80’s 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🤣 We sold the candles we made, for summer Camp charity ❤️😊

It's Russia. 8:04 In the lower left corner there is a five-liter bottle of water of the Russian brand "Пилигрим"

There use to be this candle shop in San Francisco at Pier 39, I always amazed at how then people cut them into art!! So fascinating to watch!

I used to watch them make these at a local fair we had. I always bought one, though they burn odd once you start burning them and the layers kinda fold into one another, beautiful tho

In the 80s there was a kiosk at the Bay Fair Mall in San Leandro where they made these. I was amazed, and still am, at the artistry...

Back in the day you could watch them make these at Cedar Point. I bought one every year I went.

Aqui no Brasil tinha uma senhora que fabricava vela que "chorarava" colorido. A vela era branca, mas quando acesa escorria em cores diferentes. Sempre quis saber como ela fazia aquilo...

So talented, your candles are exquisite !!! 😊❤

Majestuoso!!!! tus manos crean lazos a través de tu arte.

Such beautiful candles I’ve always wanted one but you don’t see them anywhere 😢

Le felicito nunca me imaginé ese proceso....Muy hermoso su trabajo, prolijo y hermoso

i will never look at candles the same anymore, how could you burn that work of art👌nice job..subbed and liked❤️

I had a candle like this in the 90’s, It’s since gone, but now I want one again!

I remember getting these in the 90s in Savannah GA. I loved watching the crafter make them. It was mesmerizing. We did burn them a little and they were so pretty.

Beautiful work you do!😊

Lindísimo, un arte sin duda.

Camera and edit well done.

Beautiful! I love these

Gorgeous masterpiece

Hermosas, sus obras de arte 🎨 😁 👍🏻

absolutely beautiful!🥰

I’d never thought I would love candle making asmr ❤

Very beautiful!

Супер! И девушка и свеча и процесс. Прекрасно все!

Quite pretty. I remember seeing those many years ago -- 70's per another's comments. I didn't realize they were still being made today.

I made one of these at a fair as a child. You were given the core, then could dip it yourself in whatever colour waxes you chose. Then handed it over for very quick cutting and shaping. When firm you picked it up and took it home. It was so fun to help make it.

It was one of my “when I get big” dreams to buy one of these candles. I still haven’t

Very pretty from start to finish 💜💓💜

I love these candles !

Gorgeous. Bi always wanted to try it. It is not easy.

So beautiful!!

Шикарное исполнение!!!!молодец.!!!!

That candle is beautiful and creative

Beautiful work. What kind of wax do you use for your candles?

I miss these so much.

Fantastic 👍😍

It’s a beautiful candle.

Magnifique !!! 😊❤❤❤

روعاتك ،فنانة 😊

Очень красиво.Ты молодец👍👍👍🙂

I remember watching these be made at the fabled public mall in my area.

Beautiful.

I use to watch them make these on the beach in the 70s.

I would love to be able to do that. I have bought a few of them for gifts. Use to be able to get them at the mall.❤️❤️ I bet you love your job. I love your job😁 I want the purple and yellow one.😁 How much do they cost?

Beautiful 🎉 🕯️

Gotta be the worst knife for cutting that wax, Id imagine a coping saw or hacksaw would be much faster, or a big cleaver and a wooden mallet

My husband and I had a custom made one for our wedding along with 2 tall candles.

they were very popular in the 1970's, everyone just about had one or two in their homes

You need a paper cutter type device for this I see and a food processor work smarter not harder really neat process thou

Years ago, probably 30 ish, we found these in the Pocono Mountain store in PA.

So thankful for the shots of her coming into work and hanging her coat…

Perfeito

Alle dine lys er så flotte, hvor er du dygtig.

ive found so many of these at goodwill

Awesome! There must be a heated wire cutter tool available, instead of cutting your fingers. I used to work at a tactical knife store. Be careful. It looks like Willy Wonka Candy maybe you could make one out of sugar. I remember these from the '70s.

Took me 5 minutes to realise the video says Candles and not Candies lol

بسیارزیبا وشگفت انگیز

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

Nadherna precizna práca skoda palit sviečky.

I cut my big blocks of wax with a big metal putty knife. It has been so much easier than a regular knife.

I used to make these in front of people all day long. Thousands of Tourists walking by.. "Ooooo, Ahhhh.. Thats sooo pretty.." Yup.. Sure is.

I use a four prong chocolate cutter (pick) on my wax slabs, faster, easier on the hands and if it slips you won’t cut yourself so it’s safer

So when it was done being dipped the bottom wasn't smooth so when did she flatten the bottom ?

Could a machine ever do this? The first part yes - ideally actually- but the second?

I remember making these at Cedar Point in Ohio when I was a kid in the 70's. Never had the patients to dunk the base in more than 20 colors so my candle would be pretty lame...lol

I make candles as a hobby, and when I get a new block of wax, I just use a hammer to smash the heck out of it, and then weigh from there on out LOL.

We used to go and watch these be carved at candle shops in Gatlinburg when I was a kid. It was fascinating to watch but once you bought them and got them home they started looking dirty really fast. Dusting them was practically impossible! So if you purchase one go ahead and burn it! Lol

Красиво даже жалко такую свечу зажигать каждая как произведение искуства😊

i found the breathing noises, of the camera person, rather amusing [in the quiet parts of the video] :D

People still do this and buy these?!? Well god bless and good luck.

Piekne swiece 👏

Резные свечи 👍👍👍

Зажгли! Аж жалко стало

Beautiful, but I would never light it.

ハワイでお土産として10個買った、皆に喜ばれたキャンドルです！

Does it have a scent?

We would buy them at Wicks n' Sticks on long island.

They are only dust collectors. I don't see them in stores anymore.

She seriously needs a better knife to prep her wax with.

Heat the blade of your knife and it will cut the wax quicker 😊 woukdnt do it when your carving the candle but just the wax yout gonna melt

Ich würde der dame eine kleine Bandsäge empfehlen. Geht schneller und sicherer die zerteilung der Grundmasse.

cool！
