Abstract
A candle is made of a plurality of high melting point wax outer layers surrounding an inner core of consumable wax, thereby creating a reusable candle with a replaceable core. The candle is cast as a sequence of outer layers, then filled with a core of consumable wax and a wick. It can display an image combining an applied graphic on its outer surface aligned with the colored layers, the combination of which can be lit by light from the candle flame passing through the outer layers of the candle.
