I like Lonestar. They're much closer to me and their scents are just as good as anyone else's.

I ran out of my usual wax, and it'll be a while before I can order another case, so I thought I'd try something new. I used 50% IGI 1274 and 50% 4625. I was totally not expecting a mottle, thought for sure the 4625 would kill it. I used Coffee Cake & Spice FO, and accidentally grabbed the purple instead of the red, so it's not quite right!

Anyway, here they be...

Did it turn brown? I had a pretty white and purple swirl, but it's lost in a fudge brownie kinda way!

That is just spectacular!

Got mine filled out. Thanks Scented!

I convert my recipes to grams. More accurate that way, especially in the small batches that I make.

Do you weigh in grams?

Have you tried Felicia's Fragrance Finder?

Good! I made another batch today! In slab form though, haven't gotten around to hp'ing it yet but I have more beer in the fridge lol

I've had those, and I have a theory about it being loose FO crystals or something like that

You have some serious talent there, I must say!

Gorgeous!

From what I've read, the sugars in the beer are suppossed to do wonderful things for the suds. I might have to HP a batch to see for sure, I'm a chicken when it comes to trying out CP before a cure LOL

4627, scent throw

Cute bunny!

Hey there, thought I'd show off more pillars. I really dig these, they unmold very quickly! Just mere hours after pouring, they're out of the mold. The orange/red were JS Vot, scented Creme de la Creme (OMG YUM!) and the purples are 4625 scented Clean Cotton. Now I get to test burn them! Woohoo!

Took 2 pics to show the other sides... forgive the 2nd pour lines!

Thanks for looking!

Yup, 100% beer, no water. Here they are out of the mold. I've read that they're supposed to have a light, nutty scent, so I didn't use any FO. I just did it last nite, so I'll update this weekend how they smell.

Seriously stunning!

I've read about beer soap, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I got some local stuff, Abita Amber, poured it into a glass, and let it sit in the fridge for I guess it's been 3 days. Then went outside in the grass expecting volcanos and fumes and all manner of scary things, but it behaved really well when I mixed the lye into it. Only thing was that it got a little applesaucey when I poured. And I got one of those silicone cupcake pans recently, figured I'd give it a try, and my recipe happens to be about the perfect amount for it.

Anyway, here they are resting, I'm hoping they keep this nice light color.

Thanks! Now I need to make some with a wax that burns a little better!

I love zinc wicks, although I'm not very good at candles! I've noticed that same thing, you can move it over a smidge and it stays, gotta love that!

I just did different colors, same scent.

Good luck!

Thanks! Just fill the mold with ice, pour one color, dump the water out and make sure it's completely dry, then pour a second color. Got the idea from Candybee!!!

I'm so excited, these are so cool!!!

Oh, I'm so going to try this out! I LOVE LOVE LOVE paint horses, so this is perfect! Thanks! It's beautiful!
