My partner and I started a quiet tradition of lighting a single candle on **Friday evenings** to mark the end of the work week. Five felt like the right number to commit to without it becoming a chore — one per weekday remembered, or unremembered, with light. The heights are staggered so the row reads as a small skyline.
Notes on making
Beeswax pellets melted in a double boiler, dipped in twenty-second intervals to build the body. The colour comes from candle-grade dye chips added at the final dip.
