CandleKitty Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Rustic pour and I dare say after taking a seven year hiatus that these turned out better than I expected.IGI-1343, Universal Additive, Cappuccino Hazelnut and a custom brown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Wax Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Congrats! I like that color and texture! Simple yet attractive. I'd like to think not all candles have to be distractingly complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleKitty Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thank you.I admit, I was way nervous when I did it. Being away from this for so long, I remembered what to do and how to do it but I still found myself with butterflies in my stomach.At least Jim Morrison kept me calm - I was listening to The End when I poured these. Only obstacle now is testing, those were poured in 2" molds, I've never used them before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Wax Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nice! Loves me some Jim Morrison! Just hoping you weren't hopping around like Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now when you were doing it! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleKitty Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nope! Only jumping around I do is Break On Through when I'm working on my marbled candles - although I'm also prone to doing it during L.A. Woman.I only listen to the Doors when I'm pouring. Something about Jim's voice soothes the senses and keeps the concentration on high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 So no textured 2 inch molds? Or are they textured? I like the look quite a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleKitty Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Standard aluminum molds, Scented. I poured them insanely cold though - right around 125-130* and had the molds in the freezer for about 30 minutes while I prepared the wax. Then I took one mold out at a time, splashed wax into the mold, waited for 7 seconds and then poured slow to get the jump lines. Actually couldn't believe my eyes when I pulled them out of the molds.

mystic sowles Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nice Job candlekitty!! I do everything to prevent jump lines and you go out of your way to make them. I didn't know they could look so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleKitty Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thank you, mysticI do whatever I can to avoid them when I'm doing sleek candles, too. This is actually the first time I purposely tried to get the jump lines and it turned out fantastic so I'll definitely be trying it again in the future. Honestly, nothing beats the feel of a sleek candle in your hand but it adds a whole new dimension handling them when there's texture to them.Not entirely sure I'm going to burn those, I'm thinking about putting them on a mirror and keeping them on my dining room table as a centerpiece.

Pam W Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The candles are beautiful - great job. I'm a lover of jumplines; they give candles a unique character with no two coming out exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puma52 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Just the name Cappuccino Hazelnut brought me in to look! Wish I had smell-O-vision! I just love coffee scents! Those look fabulous! So absolutely beautiful....I just love the primitive look of them! Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Fabulous! But you have to burn them - candles were never meant to be dusted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Bump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Bumping again to show how jump lines can add some beauty to a pillar candle. I'm issuing a challenge to experienced candle makers(and Newbies that want to participate) to pour a candle that produces jump lines..........Jump lines are my passion ......if you want to participate....go for it, if not then just sit back and watch!!!!!!!!!!

Hopie Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I really like the texture of these! My freezer is pretty small, but maybe I can jam a small mold in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
