pear shaped 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.

The pear-shaped candle is, in many ways, Monica's image of fall's richness. It is designed for the bounty season! Each piece is made of pure beeswax with a few drops of mineral pigments for some of the shades. Each candle burns for about 10 hours. Trim the wick (to about 1 cm) if you would like the candle to burn slowly and 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.
