A sweet aroma, a shiny jar, warm color and the twinkling flame of handmade candles make any house a home. The pleasing smell waifs across the room floating in the air until it catches on an inhale and delivers a bounty of pleasing scents. Selecting the perfect hand crafted candle can have your memories sparking from scent to scent and color to color.
Artists design and create handcrafted candle products while paying close attention to the details. Handcrafted designs deliver a higher level of quality compared to factory produced products. Factory produced candle products are made and poured by machines and miss out on individual charm.
Factory bought merchandise comes as it is, but a handcrafted item can be made especially for you. If you love the color blue and the smell of vanilla, it is something that can be created to your specifications. Factory inventory typically matches colors with scents. A vanilla scent would be paired with an ivory colored wax and a blue wax would be mixed with a blueberry or ocean breeze scent.
Handmade candle products come in a variety of waxes. Some designers choose to work with soy wax because it burns cleaner and longer than paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is cheaper to work with because it is a petroleum by-product. Palm wax is a renewable resource just like soy wax, but can be manufactured on less land.
Buying something off of a store shelf does not give you the opportunity to discuss the products or the manufacturing process. You can not request special items, styles or mixes and are typically stuck with what you can find. Products that are made by hand are crafted in smaller facilities with less pollutants and chemical by-products.
When you purchase handmade candles that are made by an artisan, you are not only getting a candle, but a work of art. The artist took the time to perfect the color and scent of the wax, along with the container it is poured into and the accessories that accompany it. You have the ability to communicate with the maker and specify what exactly you would like to have.
