Hand candles including Vulcan salute

Atelier WM designed a variety of candles cast from real hands flipping the bird and giving the sign of the horns. But this Vulcan salute wins, er, hands down. They're $61 from A+R Store.

Pharrell made a custom hand candle with the Vulcan salute (or Star Trak sign) a little while ago too!

GODEL @1, same candle. From the link:
"After their recent home-run collaboration with Pharrel for Collette, we're thrilled to introduce them to U.S. shores."

Reminds me of The Grinch.

Sure my blood is green, but my hand isn't this is actually the Vulcan salute as given by an Orion slave trader.

Okay, glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought of the Hand of Glory.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone offers Hands of Glory on Ebay. Everything else is for sale.

Better yet. Make your own.

This is why I love BoingBoing! I saw the picture of the candle and said to myself "I'd bet a large sum of money that some Boinger will compare that thing to a hand of glory". Yay geekdom.

"Better yet. Make your own."

The raw materials are hard to come by. Do you know how much hunchbacks charge these days for bodysnatching work?

when we used to make them it was so no one asleep in the house we were robbing would wake up.

One really important one missing- the shocker. You all know it and love it.
