dolofana candle

Monica, the founder of Mo Candles and More, loves to create. She is just as much a candle-maker as she is a photographer. In a sense, the two go hand in hand as she works to bring nature and evoke emotions through her work. Her candles are hand-dipped and she collects her beeswax from local bee farmers. Monica is based in Bucharest, Romania, and she dreams of one day having a small farm where she could raise chickens.

Dolofana is a short candle with a similar elegance as her taller sister, the domnita candle. Specifically, it measures 20 cm in length and 1.5 cm in diameter. It will burn peacefully and beautifully. While Domnita will fit more snuggly a standard candle holder, the Dolofana is smaller in diameter and will need a different setup. For example, a candle holder with a jag/needle at its center. Dolofana was produced through hand-dipping and is meant as a simple pleasure for everyday living. Do not leave the burning candle in a drafty spot where it can burn unevenly (and is also a hazard). Collect any leftover wax and reuse it to make playful candles or in other home-crafts.

Please practice fire safety, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
