Wow, they look delicious. Congrutulations on your first pics, hope to see more. I just posted my first last week.

I have to agree with everyone else, those purple's are really beautiful...Great Job!!

Thank you all for your kind comments, it's very encouraging. I know I have a long way to go before I get as good as all of yours, but I have nothing but time...lol. This weekend I'll wick them and see how they burn. flutterbye--I used my husband's yogurt containers, it's the first time I ever used something else besides my tried and true metal votive molds. Candybee--I just took a look at you post and both your pictures and candles are breathtaking. Can't wait to see more.

Well I've finally gathered enough nerve to post my first pics. These are my first chunkies and they're scented with Mimosa & Mandarin. For the chunks I used the last of my 4794 and overpoured with some 4625. I already know they're not that great but would welcome any comments. Thanks for looking. That is if I can get them on here..lol. ~~JG

Hi and welcome to the boards, sorry I'm not able to offer any help for your soy needs, but I can tell you that this candle making thing is very addictive and everyone here is super helpful, just turn yourself into a sponge and soak up all this free knowledge. Also the search button is your friend, a lot of information can be found just by doing a search. Hope this helps. ~~JG

I feel for you...and pray it's not a big bottle.

OMG, me too. I couldn't even test burn my votives because it made me so so sick. I finally had to throw them out because my house was saturated with that smell.

OOh I want a mouse pad too.... I used to order my soap making supplies from them before I got hooked on candles, never once had a problem and always enjoyed their little freebies.

Thanks for the description, I just might have to try this one for myself.

DT you sound like me...there's so much candle stuff out there that it can become very overwhelming when you're just starting. I'm going to be moving on from votives to containers very soon and I've been doing a lot of research on this board and the archived one as well, then I cut and paste the info onto a Word document then add that to my "candle making" binder. One can never have too many notes. Good luck and have fun.

Totally agree Andrea, I wrap mine up too and lean it slanted against my back steps then whack it with a hammer a few times.

Wow those are great layers!! Just wondering if you could describe the Banana Blast scent it sounds really yummy?

Anita is right. I am pretty new to this and was having the same problem untill the good folks here pointed me in the right direction. I've sinced changed to a much tighter fitting container I get from walmart and have not had that problem since.

I use and love 4794 from Candle Science in NC.
