Stone lamp with a Rose Campion leaf as a
wick. The snuffer (used to put out the candle) is a piece of turtle
shell glued (hide glue--I use it for everything!) to a Limpet shell.

| Wicks |

Wicks are necessary for lamps to work. This photo shows a wick
made from the pith of Mullein. |

This is a cross-section of a Mullein stalk, showing the pith in the

Wick made from Mullein pith. P.S. This is not where you would use
a wick - this photo is simply to illustrate the wick burning. |
