Henryk Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 God - they are ALL great!

Margaritamama Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 WOW - There is some stiff competition!!!! Had great fun though - will definitely do it again..... The candles are beautiful, and I'm the better chandler for having taken part.We should come up with a "seasonal candle" competition. Every season - and no sooner is one over and another is upon us - we should make a candle to fit that season. For example:Jan: New Years CandleFeb: Valentine's DayMar: St. Patrick's DayApr: Easter / SpringMay: Mothers DayJune: Fathers DayJuly: 4th July - Independance DayAug: ....... We can come up with one.... Back to school maybe?!?!?Sep: Fall Oct: HalloweenNov: ThanksgivingDec: Christmas / Hannukah / Kwanzaa or whatever someone celebrates...It would be fun to get our creative juices flowing.....

Kaybee23 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I just wanted to say, that even though mine didn’t come out exactly as planned, I had a great time trying. I would definitely be up for doing this again. Maybe as mentioned above, we could some theme candles, like autumn, or Christmas, or the best use of the color blue, or something. Would be nice if we could get more to participate next time as well. We have so many talented people on this board. My congrats to everyone, they all look wonderful!

Sweet68cam Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 How long should we do the voting before we announce the winner?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 They're all pretty I would suggest letting the poll run at least 24 hrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 One thing I thought of - are we supposed to vote for the best dupe of the mottling itself or of the candle? Because I think that will really sway the results one way or the other.Being honest, I think #2 is the best dupe of the mottling (which I think the maker was going for seeing that it seems like they only used a 3x3.5" mold), but #3 is the best dupe of the "overall" candle.Guess I was wrong, but I thought the contest was to dupe the mottling?(FYI - not trying to sway anyone's opinion, and I didin't compete - I already know I can't get the mottling! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I thought it was the whole candle.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Aug. we could do back to school in your states main university colors (or whatever, just throwing ideas out there) and/or Arbor Day (tree colors, or embed tree, something like that-isn't Arbor Day in Aug?? lol) But I DO like this idea!!

sudsnwicks Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 are we supposed to vote for the best dupe of the mottling itself or of the candle? I was confused about this too. I voted for the one which looked the most like the photo from the other thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donita Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Margarittamama....there is something in August.....my daughter and best friend started the YaYa month....it is the 8th month so it is the infinity symbol. The month of the goddesses. (Also the month you don't weed anymore).....Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I think you all did an excellent job. Everyone deserves a round of applause! I like how this went. I really wanted to participate, but this weekend was plagued with a bunch of little emergencies. We have to do this again... goal-oriented creation adds a little spice, jogs the mind, and certainly provides motivation... a lot of fun.
