Cheese candle by Alan Muddypaws, on Flickr
No, it's not made of cheese, but rather the large quantity of wax that I collected after Christmas. As many will know, on the approach to Christmas, at various markets will be found diverse artisanal cheese sellers, all selling various cheeses encased in colourful waxes. I scrounged the cheese waxes from family Yuletide gatherings, and melted them down to make a candle. Unfortunately, the pretty coloured waxes merged into a not too lovely brown. I added some drops of pine and cedar oil to the melted wax, for an authentic bushcraft flavour, but, after lighting the candle, it seems I could have added far more essential oil.

Sorry if it's a bit left field for the forum, but thanks for looking anyway!
