Hand Painted table candles, 3 pack, Zahabu

Description

Zahabu is Swahili for the golden one. Right enough, with the golden yellows and lush reds, accented with traditonal motifs, you'll feel like royalty with these lighting up your traditional Swahili home.

Failing that, you'll be pleased to hear they work equally well in your country cottage, downtown flat, or your palace (right Liz?)

Like all candles from Nobunto, these will invariably have your guests and friends wondering where you got them, and more importantly, how do they get some.

While you will love the attention, don't keep us a secret. Remember you are supporting a good cause with every candle you and your friends buy.

How to Use

-All pillar candles should only be left burning for 2-3 hours during the first and second usage. Wait an hour before re-lighting. The candle should not burn longer than 2 hours during subsequent usage.

-The reason is the flames create a "lantern effect", as they burn down the centre of the candle, thereby creating the glow in which the external painted effect is clearly visible.

-This beautiful "lantern effect" produces a lot of heat inside the candle which can cause the outer walls of the candle to melt if you let it burn for too long. Aside from spoiling the effect, molten wax will leak out.
