I&#8217;ve been hand carving candles for over 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>In 1990 I was taught by a gentleman who had just closed his candle shop (of many years) and was moving out of state. He was willing to share this beautiful art with me &#8211; and many well-kept secrets. His fee in 1990 was $1500 for a 40 hour week. For nearly 4 weeks he and I worked side-by-side, only breaking for lunch.\u00a0 We scrapped many, many center cores! Precision cutting, carving and speed can only come with many, many hours of practice and patience.<\/p>\n<p>Wax Wizard Candles, the retail store opened for business the following month right next door to my Ceramic &amp; Art Studio where I taught ceramic and art classes for more than 25 years &#8211; including hand-painting on porcelain china, porcelain doll making, pottery, slab clay work, hand-sculpted flowers, T-shirt painting, air-brushing, pen-n-ink drawing, water colors and more.<\/p>\n<p>The brick and mortar storefront was closed in 1998 when I had a bout with cancer.\u00a0 During my recovery period is when I began developing the online candle shop.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last 20+ years the site has grown and evolved as we&#8217;ve partnered with some great candle manufacturers and importers to offer a full line of quality candles &#8211; many hard-to-find candles and odd size candles &#8211; plus a beautiful line of unique beeswax candles.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again for your interest in our candles.<br \/>\n~:Diane<\/p>\n<h3>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br \/>\n<strong>Menu Below:<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/waxwizard.com\/index.php\/page\/1\/?s=close+out+sale&amp;post_type=product\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\nClose Out Sale &#8211;
