candle carver
I had never heard of a Candle Carver until recently while looking through Core77’s gift guide. This is brilliant and makes for such a fabulous table decoration.
what about the apple itself? will anyone eat it after it served its purpose of decoration? people starving and a designer spending time creating something stupid like this… a shame.
I think apple thing is a great idea. If you’ve got a compost bin then you’ve already considered the apples second life! It’s also the sort of ‘left over’ a guinea pig goes wild for.
Swissmiss is an online garden Tina Roth Eisenberg started in 2005 and has lovingly tended to ever since.
Besides swissmiss, Tina founded and runs TeuxDeux, CreativeMornings and her Brooklyn based co-working community Friends Work Here. (She also started Tattly which was recently adopted by BIC)

I find the waste implied in this to be faintly obscene.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that a simple paring knife would suffice.

I think it looks pretty fabulous! Besides, no one eats the apple core.

Hey, I love those candles, did you make them yourself or did you buy them? If you made them, I would love to know more.
