red-hot ladies

Granted, there's something a wee bit creepy about melting someone's head into a puddle of molten wax, but we're digging these candles from Brooklyn-based maker Kaye Blegvad all the same. Perhaps they're a statement about working too hard, or a warning against burning the candle at both ends – or maybe they're just a snazzier option for flickering lighting than your average tapered wick.

Want to see more from Kaye's creative brain? She's also a talented illustrator and a bit of a whiz with ceramics; there's plenty to ooh and aah over on her website, here.
