Colored wicks include a sheet including at least one of wood, a wood-like substance, and cellulose fiber, wherein the sheet is treated with a dye or color pigment. Processes for preparing a colored planar wick, include: pretreating a sheet of wick material: dyeing the pretreated sheet of wick material: pressing the dyed sheet of wick material; and cutting the pressed sheet of wick material to obtain the colored planar wick. Colored planar wicks may exhibit improved burning temperature, flame height, greater wax pool growth, and acoustic properties relative to undyed wicks.
The method for manufacturing a makeup brush includes: molding a ferrule and welding bristles to the ferrule. The ferrule includes a ferrule inner end; a ferrule outer end; a ferrule body; an interior, and a well. The well has a well base parallel to the ferrule outer end. The well base has an inner side and an outer side. The step of welding the bristles includes the steps of disposing the bristles in contact with the outer side of the well base and exposing the inner side of the well base to welding.

Wicks include a sheet, including wood, a wood-like substance, and/or a cellulose fiber, and an engraved booster region that is a region at a surface of the sheet where material of the sheet has been removed. Material may be removed by laser engraving. A ratio of the width of the engraved booster region to the width of the sheet may be 1:3 to 1:8. A width of the engraved booster region may be 0.075 to 0.175 inches. Methods for manufacturing wicks include laser engraving a planar workpiece to remove material from a surface of the workpiece forming engraved booster regions, and laser cutting the workpiece to form sheets including an engraved booster region.

The present invention is a makeup brush with a releasably connectable ferrule and handle, so that the ferrules and handles are interchangeable. The means for releasably connecting the ferrule and the handle may be, for examples, by friction fit or by the inclusion of sliding features, such as a notch and channel, such being additional methods for releasable connectivity beyond those already patented and/or developed by the inventor.

Candle having a planar wick and method of and equipment for making same
A candle having a body of a meltable fuel and a planar wick. When lit, the candle provides a unique flame formation, usable in a variety of decorative applications. The wick can be configured to evenly deplete the meltable fuel, while allowing for candles having relatively large and unique body configurations. The body of candle and/or the wick may include scented oil to promote the release of fragrance upon heating. The wick preferably is formed of wood, thereby providing an acoustic contribution to ambiance and improved combustion that generates less soot than conventional cotton wick candles.
