Step 2. Cut your favorite citrus in half reserving the half that is connected to the long, white string-like pith that runs through the center of citrus fruits.  It is very important that this remain intact and connected to the citrus, as this is your candle “wick”.

Step 3. You can be meticulous and remove all the flesh of the citrus down to the white pith, or you can be lazy and simply get most of it out.  It will not affect the performance of your citrus candle.

Step 4.  Choose the type of oil you’d like to fill it with.  Any extra virgin olive oil or infused olive oil will burn in the candle (but stay away from the spicy oils). Fill the citrus about 3/4 full, but make sure the wick is not fully submerged in the oil and at least 1/4″ is available to light.

Step 5. Gently coat the citrus pith or the “wick” with olive oil.  Using a stick lighter begin the process of lighting the wick actionsolar.net.  This will take a minute or two as it is necessary to dry out the wick and char it to some degree.  Once it’s lit, it will stay so until all the oil is gone. Enjoy your new handmade candle!

The Tubby Olive’s Box Gift

Colleen Greene, a Pennsylvania-based glass designer of Fire & Fusion Design, creates artisan-crafted fused glass designs, both artistic and functional. Colleen created these unique olive oil dipping dishes just for The Tubby Olive, using inspiration from the Tubby Olive color palette of burgundy, dark green, and gold, and the olive based on the store logo. Her meticulous process involves two 8-hour firings.

“The process of glass fusion amazes me in that you can take mere shards of transparent, opaque, iridescent, dichroic and colored glass, cut them in various shapes and sizes, layer them, and fire them in a kiln to create amazing effects,” says Colleen. “The transformation from individual pieces of glass to the finished product is incredible.”

Colleen has handcrafted one-of-a-kind functional and decorative fused glass artwork, dishes, and jewelry over the past 10 years. “I hope that my creations speak to you on a personal level, whether you give them to someone as a special gift or use them to brighten your own life.”
