Does Candle Making Wax hold
Secrets to your Personality?
Candle making wax. Just imagining the creative process of making candles
gets me interested in this craft.
The pliable,
malleable substance... Getting caught up in thinking of all the
possibilities... The endless ideas race through my mind...
Do you get excited about your own creative ideas? You should. For who
else will? Your life should excite you in some area
of it. Even if it is not necessarily in the art of candle making.
What's life to you? Do tell me it's not just getting up in the morning
to go to work?! But do tell me though if work is
exciting to you and you love your job.
That's the kind of life I love to hear you are having. One where you get
up eager to get to work on the job at hand.
Candle making wax is like life...
Yes candle wax is like life. Really. It is.
There are different kinds of it around. You could even say that the
different kinds represent different kinds of people.
And yes we may even seem alike however we are not. No I sincerely
believe that no two of us are alike.
Watching any talent show and you can't help but come to that conclusion.
No two do the same thing on stage. But that's what
makes life so interesting. That we all have our uniqueness's.
The different kinds of candle making wax are gel, paraffin, beeswax, soy
wax, natural beeswax, and natural wax.
In my comparison of candle making wax to people, what kind of wax would
you think you are?
The different kinds of candle wax are:
- Paraffin wax - it is a petroleum product which when produced becomes a
solid as it cools. Hmm? It obviously is warmed and
then cools to a solid.
What kind of person does this sound like? Maybe
someone with a warm, affectionate heart who even in
their times of being alone, with no one else around, just emulate a
solid lifestyle. Both in good or bad times. A pleasant
goal to reach for.
- Candle Gel - this is a form of mineral oil that has been thickened with
polymer for use in candles. It has a very low melting
point and is one of the best starter type candles to make. It can be
melted then re-melted, designed then redesigned. It is
one of the most versatile waxes around.
Maybe the person who would have
this kind of personality would be carefree and easy
going. Someone who would go anywhere or do anything that was presented
to them. Fun-loving, flexible and pliable.
- Beeswax - this is a wax that comes from beehives. Just thinking of it
describes a busy-ness. The hive, the bees, the coming
and going of little creatures. The constant buzzing... The constant
doing of life...
Who else but someone of a busy nature
would this describe? Someone constantly talking and always on the move.
Maybe this would be a good description of the neighbourhood busy-body. Yeah you know the type... We have all met him or
her. And no being busy is not only for women, men
do it too, lol. Of course not you or I... right!
- Natural beeswax - is a candle made from the best of the best candle
beeswax you can get. No preservatives... no artificial
perfumes... no dyes... no toxins of any kind... and definitely
environmentally friendly to your home and mine.
An absolute
naturalist kind of person. Doing and being healthy in all areas of their
lives. Including the candles they choose. These people seriously
practice what they believe in all areas of their life on earth. Much
to be admired, they are!
- "A 'Natural' wax is a wax from a renewable resource such as a plant,
insect or animal. The candle making wax from an animal would be from
the exterior of a living animal such as Lanolin (wool grease)." quote
from Let's Make Candles
Natural candles can be made with the following: beeswax, bayberry or
palm. Variety is the spice of life. Variety would also
help us attain and retain our health for years to come. Healthy living -
a reasonable and attainable goal for all of us.
- Soy wax - made from the soybean these candles make for a healthy
solution also, in health conscious homes. The simplicity
of these candles can not be overstated. Just melt the wax and pour. They
make great pastel candles because of their opaque
color effect.
These candles may illustrate a laid back individual. The
ultimate in easy-going. You just will tolerate any
state you find. Great to be such a person in today's day and age. Truly
awesome.
So what kind of candle wax do you think you are?
These descriptions do not depict all personalities of course! For who
can describe everyone in one sitting? I know, not me.
God for sure, so we'll let Him be God.
Hopefully you found this article interesting at the very least. And yes
the best candle making wax, by all means, is you!
...'til next time, keep on making those beautiful candles!
