It’s that time of year to break out the pysanky dye for eggs. I’ve already taught a class at the library. I’ve had four grandkids at various times start their own eggs.
Of course, as I teach, I have to work on an egg myself… and then I HAVE to finish them… As I’m melting my beeswax in my candle, the wick all disappears, so I lay a match in the wax and it becomes the wick. After a bit, all the wax is melted, but there’s a weird smoke roiling around the edge of the candle. That’s weird. But I ignore it and focus on my egg. I look at the candle again and it’s still smoking! Huh. Oh. Oh, no!
Using a match as a wick has heated the candle up so much, that’s it’s burned into my dining table! Not only that, as I moved it to look under it, the place I moved it to also has a burned outline of the tea light. Wow. Just wow. I’ve done this many times before and never had it happen. Believe me, I’ll be putting my candles on a coaster from here on out! Anyone have any tips on what to do with this burned o on my table?

Oh dear. I thought the burn mark was the lid of the candle. No idea how to remove the mark but I expect someone on YouTube might have had the same problem.. Otherwise you could do what we have both done on clothing that has hole or bleach mark – make it into a flower. The burn mark could be the centre of a sunflower.
Given your awesome artistic skills, this would make a great focal point for a painting of some local scenery. As Kate Smith sang, “When the moon comes over the mountain …”
Or there’s always table pads. My mother kept them on the table whether or not a tablecloth was in use.
