Hi,

I'm looking for image examples of carved candles.. are there galleries
out there or competitions? Maybe those would be a good source.

Thank you.

Hello Pink!

I loved the African Carved ones the most.

Can I see more in this general area?

The level of detail and quality of the candle is what I'm looking for. :-)

Thank you Pink. :-)

Of all the candles I've looked at, the one I find most striking is
this one, of a lion's face. It reminds me of Ron Perlman as Vincent in
"Beauty and the Beast":

Thanks Pink for the answer, liked the reference to Vincent. ;-)
