Sheen of Gold

Simple centerpieces are often the most elegant, such as this grouping of inexpensive glass containers in varying heights and widths, each wrapped with gold-color craft wire. Bind the grouping together with more wire and tie a double bow and curlicues to reflect the glow of the votive candles.

clipper's remarks: Cute photo lampshade

Clip Source: www.marthastewart.com

If you're throwing a party for someone's anniversary or birthday, the guest of honor will shine with a set of photo frame lanterns. They consist of three hinged photo frames set around votive candles. The black-and-white photos are printed onto ecru-colored vellum paper, which is translucent enough for the images to be visible by candlelight.

Disassemble three like-sized frames, setting aside their fronts and discarding their backings. Paint or stain wooden frames desired color; let dry. Upload or scan photographs into a computer. With editing software, make the images black and white, and resize them to fit your frames. Print them onto vellum paper with an ink-jet printer. Slip the images into the frames. Using cloth tape, hinge frames together to form a triangle. Stand frames around a candle in a protective glass holder.

clipper's remarks: Corporate whores: The tobacco industry

Clip Source: www.newint.org

Pray for health In the Philippines, with a large and devout Catholic population, various wall calendars tout popular tobacco brands. This one is from the Fortune Tobacco Company. Should smokers pray for good fortune or good health? And should they use their votive candles to light their cigarettes?

Candle Usage

Before the domestication of electricity, the candle was a common source of lighting, before, and later in addition to, the oil lamp. Due to local availability and the cost of resources, for several centuries up to the 19th century the candle was more common in northern Europe, and olive oil lamps more common in southern Europe and around the Mediterranean Sea. Candle makers were known as chandlers.

Today, the candle is usually used for their aesthetic value, particularly to set a soft, warm, or romantic ambience, and for emergency lighting during electrical power failures.The Scented candle is common in aromatherapy.

A bacon scented candle? Perfect!

Clip Source: www.gratefulpalate.com

Bacon = Freedom; Lettuce = Love; Tomato = Passion

One votive candle scented with the aroma of bacon. One votive scented with the aroma of lettuce. One votive scented with the aroma of tomatoes. They are sensual, sexy and tantalizing. You may want to light them in your kitchen, office or bedroom or wherever you seek sensual pleasure and enlightenment; by yourself or with someone special. Depending on your need and sensual mood, you can light them as a set or individually.

Homo Perfectus Immaculately Conceives Himself

To keep his blessed armor hard he ate
                        lean meat, cruciferous greens, few
                        grains. He liked his instants
parceled out in reps and sets, and he was glad,
to dangle like an ape from an iron bar, admiring
his bicep bulge (amen): He worked hard
             the slant board, the oblique
                        twist, and his own form
waxed and polished, his house a bleached vault
where he lit votive candles to the clear
persistence of his little self though no one else
                        showed up. He liked
                        the slammed door, the map's red line, to stomp
a clutch, to clutch the black wheel, to wheel

away in steaming rage.

                                 He was a preacher fond
of Revelation. His truth was slant,
his facts oblique. He sought a righteous girl, articulate,
                        whose slang he could steal
                        for his soporific sermons—
a girl all clean and bare in her nethers with mouth
of Cupid's bow—someone
to dress in white and hold

struggling under water, to warp

the iron of, till she melted. To her
he gave and gave. He gave all

the all he had, which wasn't much.

clipper's remarks: McFarlane Toys honors Clive Barker's Tortured Souls

McFarlane's Tortured Souls: Animae Damnatae

"People want to see the monsters. We supply the monsters.
"It's great dealing with Todd because you dispense with the middleman and talk directly to the creator, Todd is about making wonderful things, making things no one has ever seen before. He came along and said 'lets do something so scary, so extreme, it'll become a benchmark in horror toys.'
"These are the first toys I've had on the market. I've had model kits and whatnot, but this is a very different order of creation. These are technically amazing and the sheer level of detail is extraordinary. These figures represent the creature that both obsesses you and repulses you simultaneously. These are figures you put in a dark place in your house, probably with some votive candles, to haunt a corner in your home. We've really had fun pushing the envelope.
"Detail is the deal with monster making. The idea is that somehow or other the artist knows what all these details are. The Fix, the character hanging with the bloodbag, you will look at that thing for three hours and still find things that disgust you.
"On my own I could not have done this. On his own, Todd could not have done this. Together we can. People are grasping for imaginative extremes and they are appreciative of that."
