Thank you all so much...I will be sure to post a picture (eventually!). And Bunny....to explain my rustic problems...I used one lb 1343, 3 TBL stearic and 1 oz scent (cinnamon vanilla). I coated my aluminum mold with cooking spray (didn't have real mold release spray) and poured between 140 and 150. The wax hadn't skimmed over at all at that temp. Seems that the rustic layer stuck to the sides of the mold more than to the candle. I tried pouring even cooler, tried chilling the mold a bit....but I never got the entire rustic effect left on the candle. This last time I actually poured the wax around the sides of the mold before filling up the mold with the wax. That seemed to help some...I only had about 1/3 of the rustic stay on the mold. Just can't seem to come close to all the beautiful ones that you all posted in the old gallery. ARRRGGGGHHHH! Thanks for you input!
