  4. Hi all, I am new to candle making and like every newbie have a bunch of questions. I have read a lot about melt points and pouring points of different waxes. All the articles say that to get good quality candles one should pour wax at its recommended temperature. I am curious to know what exactly happens if you don't follow the pouring temperature. Does it effect the surface, fragrance or burning times? Does the kind of mold ( metal vs plastic or silicon used dictate the poring temperature? Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks. Umesh
  5. Fantastic. I waiting for the day when I am able to do my own marble. You mention a person in your post, is there a tutorial from her for these candles. Would love to learn more if you could point the link to me. Thanks for sharing. Umesh
  6. Thanks Irena, I couldn't see the pictures but can imagine hw similar it must be. Your not finding the store online may point to Buddha candles not being a good business A neighborhood shop yesterday though found the candle appealing and ordered a couple. Lets how it all turns out. Best, Umesh
  7. Thanks Irena, I have seen a bunch of fountains and wall hangings with similar Buddha composition. I find them very oriental, I took my inspiration from Indian Buddhist sculptures. I am fan of Buddha sculptures and like them to be peaceful to look at. I tried to bring the same to my candle. Where can I find these Canadian molds? might learn a thing or two.
  8. Thank you all for your kind words, very encouraging. I will share the next one soon as its almost done.
  9. Thanks, I did carve it first, then made a mold to form it in beeswax.
  10. Hi everyone, I am new to candle making and have been experimenting with it for some time. Learning by watching online videos and reading posts from forums like this one. Here is one of my attempts at Beeswax Buddha. Any feedback would be great. Thanks. Umesh
