Those of you who were as fond of the Disney version of Peter Pan as I was as a kid, should remember Captain Hook capturing Tinkerbell, and imprisoning her in a glass lamp. I always sort of wondered what would have happened if there had been a candle in the lampt at the time. Wax cools and hardens fast, and something like this might have been the result.

I did a version of this a very long time ago, and this sketch only a couple of years ago. Last summer I took a scan of it into Photoshop and did a fast job of subtly colouring the green leaf Tink wore as a dress, her blonde hair, and skin colour under the translucent wax.
