I found a local candle artisan, Christian Zygla, in Chatham, New York, who makes gorgeous candles from golden yellow and sun-bleached white beeswax. All of the materials in his candles are made in the USA. They can be seen at https//artisancandles.net/

Beside poured candles for the Intermediate level of the Candlemaking badge, I also made the firestarters from one of the recent issues of MaryJane's Farm magazine! I love them! They have multiple spices and little burnables in them and are topped off with some pieces of potpourri to make them pretty. I can't wait to try them out~

Carrie, how many of those fire starters did you make? I would love to hear what you think once you try them. How did your candles turn out?

Hello Ladies~
I made a couple dozen of the firestarters and I am very eager to try them out, but I cannot have open fires in my community and it was been raining SOOOOO much here in Upstate NY so I have yet to go camping. But, I have given some of them away and am eager to hear how they are working from my friends.
I'm hoping in another weekend or two that I'll get up into the Adirondacks and give them a try myself :-)
