Noodle Candles

Strange Designs by Kwangho Lee

I do love this 'noodle' candle design by Kwangho Lee, but looking at it, I can't figure out if it would be very easy to make, or very hard. Either way, I do like it, although I am not totally into the brown colour.

Of course Lee's candle is just one of many strange-looking candles that have been featured on this site. I am not sure where I stand on this whole issue as it is a bit like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. For example, I had a rubber duck candle for ages in the bathroom. I burnt it, and now I have a yellow blob that looks nothing like a rubber duck, and just leaks wax everywhere.

If you love a candle enough never to burn it, then why buy it? But again, if you are not that bothered about burning a candle, then was it worth splashing all that cash on a very complicated designer one? The 'let it rock' candle being a perfect example.
