From Jfay:
Secret cache’s of hidden Aztec Gold, secrets given to the Ridgemont Family by an old Indian Shaman, portals to other worlds….. Such are the legends found in William Maltese’s new western novel, RIDE THE MAN DOWN, in which the AZTEC GOLD Candle was designed to accompany.

The AZTEC GOLD Candle is a tall rustic 3X9 Deep Burgandy/Brown pillar with the handpainted emblem of a golden Aztec Calendar. The AZTEC GOLD Candle is scented in William Maltese’s new Signature Scent, AZTEC GOD, a sensual, musky, spicy blend of exotic fragrances such as warm amber, sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli, musk, cedarwood, clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

    delicate fillagre Jfay. Wonder at how you create the designs in each. Tell ya really would have a very difficult time “burning” these candles. Wonder is there anyway you could set them up in a row on a shelf and to look at each one together? One would be hard pressed to “pick” their favorite of what you have created.

    The more I think about it – the less I understand how you DO what you DO! To think this is poured wax – amazing! Simply Amazing!

    Well, of course, I’m biased about this particular piece of artwork, because it was commissioned especially to supplement my paranormal western novel RIDE THE MAN DOWN, but — hell — biased or not — this is one damned purdy piece of wax-works. You, my dear, are a genuine talent as regards whipping up pieces of phallic brilliance!

    A treasure indeed, such detail created in wax! I don’t know how you do it girl, but don’t ever stop.

    Thank you all very much — I am honored to be complimented by artists such as you. I really have approached working with wax with an artistic viewpoint from the very beginning, using my molds as my canvas as well as the candles themselves sometimes becoming the canvas.

    So elegant against a simple background. Your staging and photography is every bit as artistic as your candels. I also like the one in the Pirate’s Booty too.

    BTW, I forget to mention that I noticed that X marks the spot.

    Ha! I didn’t even notice that myself! X marks the spot indeed! Another hidden treasure! Thank you also for your mention of my photography, I do enjoy staging my candles as much as I do making them — and glad you like the Pirate’s Booty Candle!
