i get my from peaks as well, closest to me, Shipping from Denver to Omaha NE, plus prices are good when buy 101+

i package mine in a cello bag tied at the top, either 4 votives in a votive holder, or indiviually, also in a single cello bag tied at the top. http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44389&highlight=votive hope that gives you an idea Alex

yup, what pam said

WOW, what everyone else has already said, i'm amazed, if those don't do well, i'd be completly shocked! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are really great looking, love the layered look!

thank you for all the kind comments, do the tilted layers on the votives, i use a votive strip that has six molds welded to it, I'm able to prop one end of the stip up on a 3x6 pillar mold. works great, i pour the first layer at around 170-175, then pour the second layer at around 185 once the first layer has set up, i've found that it does help hit the mold w/ a heat gun quickly before doing the second layer. I got the votive strip from candlechem off of ebay.

just some stuff i've been working on... blueberry cheesecake votives, same votives packaged, blueberry cheesecake mini wax melts, black raspberry vanilla mini melts, and some pumpkin pie votives. Would love to hear everyone's opinions on the labels, they are something i've been playing w/. There are three mini melts per package and combined weigh about 1 and 1/8th ounce combined. Thanks for looking, Alex

the votives are packaged in a 6x6 bag, and they are pretty loose side to side, they do get beat up pretty bad, or mark the bag itself, i'm going to a 5x8 bag soon that fits side by side, and the top can be bunched and tied, hopefully that will cut down on the scaring and marking. thanks to all for the comments, this board has been such a help and inspiration!

votives in the back - six packs, mountain lake and pineapple rest are 4 packs of voties in downy, moonlight path, pearberry, monkey farts, and creme brulee, each pack contains a votive holder as well. I'm gunna be trying out some new packaging for the votives, something that holds them tighter, that way they don't "scar" as easy. tins, mountain lake, kiwi melon, pine jars are pineapple and candy cane, pineapple was a holdover from summer, the pine and candycane did good over the holidays, but not as well as i had anticipated, so had quite a bit of fo left over. enjoy, and thanks for looking, alex

"JUST SOME PALMS"?????????? WOW, those are really beautiful! :highfive:

so i tried the meatballer method, and failed over and over again, getting one good one to every three cracked or split bomb, was at a garage sale over the summer and bought these tart molds, and they work great! i use the under side of my mesuring cup to level the small ones and round out the tops of the heart shaped ones. The Pink Sugar is from The Candle Source and my wife says it's a dead on dupe.... thanks for looking!

and after total of 4 hours burn Again, thanks for looking and the compliments!

so i was gunna wait to do some burn pics after i took it to work fri and sat, but here is a pic after one hour burn time.

will be taking them to work for scent examples and didnt feel like creating a new label.... kinda lazy like that, lol:wink2:

i got the cracks when i stuck it in the freezer after about an hour w/ relief holes, then proptly forgot about it until the next morning, took it out of the freezer let it warm up to room temp, stuck a skewer down the relief holes, did my repour, and thats what it came out like, when i burn it it will be in a 16 oz jar in case it does crack. I'm hoping the the wax from the repour will hold it together.... fingers crossed thanks all for the complimets!
