SparkysCandles

Well turns out Spokane, WA is not good area to sell candles. So. For the time being I am retiring from the candle world but hate to see all my supplies go to waste. Anyone here interested in buying them or have any ideas how I could sell them. I already have an ad on Craig's List. I have over $500 worth of supplies.

Love these jars [ATTACH=CONFIG]25414[/ATTACH

does anyone do it? I am using 4630 and Peak's pink sugar in a 8 oz status jar

Trying a new concept. I have a #2 square braid in one of my containers. Testing it as soon as I get home. Oh yea its 4630 and Peak's Pink sugar.

have you ever trimmed your candles to less than a 1/4/ I have mine trimmed to 1/8 or so for testing purposes just to see. So far the candle burns reat and smooth

But Lonestar is out of the ones I need. Where do some of you get yours

I love them! My old ones were so........ 3 years ago. LOL

I love CD wicks and trim mine as well. I have never worked with zinc so I can't compare but CDs seem to do well in all my candles.

I actually love seeing candles ike this. This is what makes hand poured candles so appealing to customers out there! because we actually take the time to center our wicks, and test our candles before we sell them to ensure good burning behavior. I get comments all the time about when a customer sees my candle it looks better than a manufactured candle. And when customers take their candle home and burn it they see the difference.

OK I came to an executive decision that Marble containers are more trouble than they are worth. it sucks because I know what I wanted. But between keeping an eye on pouring temps, and pouring at just the right time, making sure I don't get tiny air bubbles as I pour.... it's just not worth it. Oh well. It was worth a try. I may try down the road with a different wax but 4630 is not a good choice. IMO. RIP marble containers, RIP. LOL

Moonshine. I poured my non-colored wax and a slightly more slushy stage than I poured the dyed wax. I also alternated the pours just slight. I love the way my candle looks. I posted pics in the gallery. I am still going to tweek my method a little but I think it turned out good.

These were so easy!

Love this look! [ATTACH]25235[/ATTACH]

YES! Thank you Beli. That was exactly what I was looking for! Now that will match my marble pillars.

This is the look I am wanting but not sure it's achievable in a container. Of course this is a pillar I did but this was easy. I tried again this morning by pour undyed wax in to a container, then as it set up swirled it with a skewer with a very small amount of dye. I ended up with a mess! Frustrating. I didn't think about pouring to colors, maybe a white and a solid color. Will try that here in a bit and hopefully post good result. [ATTACH=CONFIG]25234[/ATTACH
