MrDan Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 These are today’s trials in wax! The original test was to try a two-toned pillar, but I got impatient so I tried for an intentional bleed. So the test kind of worked on that one. I’m going to spend a little time next week just focusing on one mold a day for testing; using the different sized molds just makes it too confusing!

Sarah S Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Very nice! I'd say you've got the bleed down pat! 😄 I love the vibrant purple! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s where I’m having the most fun with candle making: the colors! I’m actually an artist, but I work in graphite, so all these bright colors are going straight to my brain! I love it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Dan, these pillars are NOT failures. When I started making pillars, I went for 3" pillars since that seemed to be the most common size...and to this day, when I pour a test candle, it is a "3" pillar There is no limit on the color combinations you can create....if you turn out a color combo you don't really care for, just lite it up and it will soon disappear...........I have burned countless test pillars over the years and have never disappointed in doing so.......burning those test candles is your reward for trying...kwim????

Hopie Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Nice purple color! I like the bleed. Have you lit them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDan Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Not yet. I tend to go crazy making the candles, then I realize I have a backlog to test, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
