Rebecca has made the largest tealight candle, which is 5'5" in
diameter. The previous record-holding candle measured 3'3" in diameter.
"I had applied for the record on June 1, 2014, but got the confirmation
only on June 27 this year," said the 27-year-old cartoonist. Rebecca took
five hours to make the candle through a unique process called hand moulding, in
which semi-hot wax is sculpted into different shapes.Each petal of the pink
rose-shaped candle is unique in shape and size, and measures one-and-half to
two feet."This is an amalgamation of my love for nature and passion for
the arts. However, it turned out to be a Herculean task to work on a candle of
this magnitude. It took me a lot of time to understand the behaviour of the wax
and work in various temperatures," she added.
