if you are going to make a candlestick out of a candle, don't you think you should finish the job and turn a candle out of wood to put in it? and of course use a bit of brass wire for the wick

Great writing - and funny - though, sadly, true.
Oh - you mean Sting?
Last I heard he should be out of the hospital by the end of the year.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Is it possible you are thinking of Kay Sekimachi, who was married to Bob Stocksdale? I saw a bowl that she made out of the paper-like layers from a wasp's nest. She carefully peeled the layers off, one at a time, and formed them into a bowl which was made in a form to match a wooden bowl her husband had turned. The two vessels sat side-by-side on a shelf in their gallery/studio/living room.
