When I saw this post on the blog Apartment Therapy showing how to make a candle with only clementines and olive oil I knew had to try it. So Monday I grabbed a box of Cuties and remembered how much I LOVE clementines. The box in question contained super-sweet bright orange orbs of deliciousness and I have been averaging about 5 a day. My vitamin C quota has been met and I recovered some candles from the wreckage. The candles work out really well and they even look pretty good without the tops so you could get 2 candles from one clementine. |

While taking pictures I wound up playing with the 'fireworks' mode on my camera. Moving the camera rather than the light source proved to be more difficult than expected but I managed. I strung the pictures together and this is what I got. Just some silly fun for a silly girl.
Talk of clementines makes me want to watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I think I'll have to dye my hair and light some clementine candles for a themed movie night. If you haven't seen it, watch it. If you have seen it, it's probably been a while and you should most certainly re-watch it. Don't forget to note the brilliant use of Clementine's hair as an indicator for the timeline. And if you're already a fan check out this Clementine paper doll print on Etsy. (The seller also has an Edie Beale doll, how incredibly cool.)
