Emilys Art Challenge.



I have got hopelessly behind on the art challenge, but I have had some time over the holidays to catch up!!
The scan is not easy to read, but its all about the best Christmas present, a candle making kit!!This must have been 35 years ago!! I spent ages in the kitchen with a pan of boiling water and an empty bean tin melting wax to pour into all sorts of different home made candle moulds. I made hundreds of candles, all sizes,shapes and smells. The start of a life long love of them!!
