I know, I know. You
are probably wondering if an alternate route to becoming a master candle maker
is to first go to Oxford University and get recruited as a spy. Well; you could do. I didn’t.
The high levels of danger involved in the secretive world of a master
candle maker has the world of espionage appear to be like a wet Sunday
afternoon in Newry, listening to forces favourites on the wireless and
wondering what BFPO actually means.
Now we are about to discuss models. I’m not talking about brain dead bimbos who
could do with a decent bag of chips and a couple of pints of stout, no, I mean
the model of the candle. So far the
apprentice master candle maker has grappled with the intricacies of Latex and
the dangers of Vinamold, not to mention riot squads, MI5 and deviant sexual
practices.
What we are aiming for is a perfect finished model of a
candle. On this occasion it would be a
heart shaped candle with a Celtic Knot running all the way around it. We are not at a point where other skills must
be learned or brought into play. Model
making might not be the correct term for the process I am about to
describe. You do not go to the local
shop and ask for an Airfix kit of a Celtic knot love heart candle.
Firstly they do not exist.
And before any of you decide ‘oh that’s a good idea’ I am claiming
copyright or trademark of Celtic knot candles.
For those of you who have a hard time reading then I would suggest that
you go to the website and watch a video which shows the process I am about to
describe. I understand that the candle
being made in the video is a Celtic Knot Orb and so you might be confused when
I say we are making a heart shaped candle.
