My hands still smell like a yummy licorice/cinnamon candy even though I've scrubbed them. Trying not to eat my own hands. Nom nom nom.

Actually it's just one little 4oz candle. Had to make it small so I have enough left over for further testing w/ the tiny 1oz sample.

Attempted first candles w/ scent. A sweet & spicy cinnamon/anise scent called "Witching Hour." Whole process made me very hungry!

Got 2 more wick types for testing. Why did I pick such a wide jar (~3.5")? At least I'll have plenty of wicks for testing other jar sizes!

More tests w/ hemp wicks. Want 2 see if dye effects burn rate - 3 shades of blue, pretty! Got 2 wait another 48hrs for them to cure - sigh.

Hemp wicks definitely burn more wax but still not enough. Must get this right before wasting scent/oil on candles that don't burn properly.

Waiting for hemp-wick batch to cure. Meanwhile burning dyed, cotton-wick batch, which surprisingly burn better than their undyed equivalents

Finished my first test candles & can't stop looking at them while they cool. Want to make more but found that I really need a scale first!

Minor setback: only one side of my new double electric range works & not the good one. Should've got a griddle instead - lesson learned!
