When Melting Wax...

...to attach the bottom of a candle to your nifty candle holder*, it is best to pay attention to how fast the flame is creeping up the match, lest you burn your fingers.

It is also best, when having to light a second match to let the candle attach itself more firmly, to make sure that you don't allow the exact same thing to happen again.

Yes. I really am that clever.

...Ouch...

* candle holder is really very nifty; a great wired bowl with pieces of shell interwoven within it, held by the extra long, thin arms of an iron figurine of a lady dressed in a skirt of tiny shimmering green beads, her knees bent to take the strain. It is designed to hold a thicker candle. Hence the wax melting. The bowl, as well as being held by her arms, rests on her head.
