This is awesome! Is the light sensitive LED just to keep a light in the candle when the wick burns down?

If you left out the wick and carved the wax down on the top of the candle you could put one of those little metal bottomed tea candle in it for the same effect without ever actually burning the wax base just replace the tea candle when it burns out.

I used to make these in my hippie days (1970's) but we didn't use crushed ice, just cubes. Made some interesting big negative spaces in the candles. Never thought of using a small candle for the centre, we used to stuff around with wicks. Another favourite was making sand candles. You make a hand made mould in wet sand, any shape you like, put some wicks in it, pour in the wax. You can leave the sand on the outside or brush it off later. You can design them with legs or not, or put shells, small pieces of flotsam, etc pressed into the sided of the wet sand moulds. You can be very creative with sand candles.

Nice idea! Do you pour the second color immediately after the first, or do you let the ice melt and pour off the water first? I'm guessing you could get a denser candle by filling the cavities left by the ice, using the second color wax. Not sure it would look as good though.

It's best to use a double boiler when melting wax if you can, it's much safer.
