Creative Candles Cry Scented Tears When They Burn
The wax dripping from a melting candle can sometimes look like tears, and this is exactly what these beautifully creepy candles and candle holders play on – when the scented candles inside melt, the wax drips through the ceramic candle holders’ eyes to form colorful scented tears.
The candles were designed by The Jacks, a design team based in South Korea. Their Kickstarter campaign (which has already reached its goal but is still accepting contributions) outlines the journey that their idea took from concept to fabrication. Both the candle holders and candles had to be optimized to ensure that the scented wax would flow through the eyes the way they wanted it to.

Looks like it defeats the purpose of candle holder since the wax will just drip out onto whatever surface it's sitting on. Looks really cool when it "cries" though!
Just need to place it on a small plate or plater... no?

Original art. Art need not be practical. It's the idea and quality that counts. Chapeau!
They need to make a red brain, so the skull will look as though it's crying blood <3
Cool idea, but it's not very practical to me. A candle holder supposedly just collects the wax so your table or whatever the candle's placed on doesn't get damaged or affected in any way. The efect is cool, but then it just kinda defeats the purpose of a candle holder. I suppose a plate could be placed underneath, but it still doesn't seem too practical to me.
