75. Carved Candle Star

Mama, I wish you a wonderful and truly happy birthday!


I carved this candle using a large kitchen knife. It was easier than I thought to get the lines straight. However, at some point I realised that one careless cut could destroy the whole work... That's when I got nervous. But I was lucky: One careless cut did happen but it didn't hack off the star's spike as it could have. The star got away with only a scar and a little dent.

Ich denk an dich. :)

  2. Wow, that's really beautiful. I love the first picture, with half of the candle glowing and the other half being in the dark.
