Very pretty red. Now if they could just get palm to throw better....

Add a little Vyber. Doesn't change the appearance of the wax and gives it that added kick.

Very nice. It is a beautiful wax when it's finished, but very finniky isn't it?

Hi Celicagtca:

Beautiful containers. May I ask you where you get your jars? I'm from Canada also and was wanting to use the apoth with black lids but they are unavailable til at least January so I was wanting to try something new. Are they much like the apoth's diameter wise?

Thanks,

Izzy :smiley2:

Hi Izzy,

I get them from the Jar Store in the States! Not to much selection here in Canada. :undecided

VERY NICE Donita!!!

Do they print up your rounds too?

Those are SNAZZY...I'm sure they'll sell extremely well

Unfortunately no. I do my rounds on the inkjet.

I really like the look of that.. very classy.. how do you do your label around the neck of the container.. Is that a custom ribbon?

I design them myself on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. Save them and send them via email to Staples. They print them out on a Laser printer for me. Then I do the dirty work and cut each one out with a paper cutter. Lots of work, but I'm happy with the finished product. Thanks for the compliments!

Very nice indeed. Really like the labels, they gotta sell fast.

Thanks Tucker!

Are you already up pouring like me? How did your show go this weekend?

Just finalized the look of my soy jar candles for christmas. Use to do the black top apothecary jars, but find these are much nicer.

Thanks everybody for the compliments. As soon as I get one thing accomplished, I'm on the look out for the next. It never ends in this business. Thank goodness I love what I do. Couldn't imagine going back to my old fulltime job.

How do you do a black background with inkjet? I would think it would either warp the paper or at least cost a fortune in ink.

When doing labels, I always use a 50-65 lb. paper in my printer. Never warps, and I set my print job on conserve ink.

Very nice...gets me in the spirit!

Nice chunks Mozzie! Love the colour scheme you got going on there.

Just out of curiosity...what do you charge for a pillar?

Oh...I don't charge for them, I give them out for FREE! Just kidding!

3"x4" $17.00

3"x6" $21.00

3"x8" $25.00

You have to take into account the cost of the wax, customs charges when I finally get the wax in Canada and the labour and materials incorporated into each pillar.

NOT THAT I'M OFFENDED But, you mentioned fruity and in the next breath you mentioned my name. Whoops, I'm just kidding babe, I'm all man, that is to say my wife thinks so anyway. Of course what does she lnow, we've only just met each other 51 years ago. Smile. Keep them pix comming, look at all the response yer getting.

ROTFLMAO Never meant it that way Tucker, I know your as straight as the wicks in your votives.

EXCELLENT mottles Mozzie! I love mottles, can't get em right though.

Those are beautiful! Okay....spill. What type wicks are you using? I played with crystallizing palm container wax for a while and although they were gorgeous, they drowned out every wick I put in them. They had a kicking scent throw and I still have about 10 lbs of the wax left I'd love to use. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Dana,

Using RRD's

You're labeling is so wonderful! I'm assuming you have those professionally printed, right?

No, I actually do them myself on an inkjet printer.

:drool:

Now explain that process with the ceramic & the little dohickey?

Couldn't even tell you the process, that's my husbands side of the business. I'm to busy melting, pouring, getting contracts. He's the one that comes up with these nifty ideas, hands me the molds and says "Now start marketing"!

Terrific looking product. Forgive me for taking the liberty but I thought the photo could use a tweak to allow the hotness to better sizzle forth.

Thanks Murryhill,

Just fixed it up thanks to you.

Hi Tucker,

Very nice and smooth looking votives! Beautiful colours and I bet they smell delicious. Good luck with your show. I know how stressful those things can be.

I received Astor F from a past Secret Buddy. Finally tried it a few months ago, love the look....But had trouble with trying to color it. What I was trying went the other way. Matches great in L.R. but was trying to contrast. Afraid to burn because of comments on this wax. But I Love the Look.

Hi Val,

What dye were you using and what comments on burning this wax? I absolutely love the way these burn, never had a problem. Maybe I can help you.

Very elegant looking.

I've got some of that wax, and have been meaning to put it on the classifieds. I don't like it for my use, but yours are very nice.

Hi Terri,

What type of wax and where did you get it from and how much? Lots of questions huh!

Your mottles always look really nice Donita. When I make them, they never turn out like yours and they seep oil badly. What's your secret??

You said keep em coming Tucker, well here is some more.

Thought I would change the jar pics to Christmas fragrances and colours.

Very nice presentation on your table. Your candles look wonderful!
