Post by: wmchauncey on February 16, 2015, 09:24:13 am

Got this candle at a craft store...figured I could use it for something.
Only problem is...I can't figure out what...suggestions???

Since you are quite good at this, how about embedding a person- maybe a face- in the flame of a candle with only a part of the candle showing. So mostly flame, with face taking on the shape of the flame. Can evoke something nostalgic or eerie.

Nice. I like it. It's great the way it is. I envision a series of these--different candles/wicks, different backgrounds, different post processing, etc. I like the recursive and chaos stuff going on.

Bob said it well. I like it the way it is, too.
