thanks E...that's a great idea...i never would of thought of that!

E..as i've said before...you are definately the rustic QUEEN!!!! I love everything you do! BUT...why a pan of dried beans??

WOW!! I love them both!:highfive:

I know it's the law that you put the ounces on your jars. So i was wondering if you put the ounces of the jar size or the actual ounces of wax that you put in the jar. Does it matter?

wannabe!!! more like i wannabe as good as you!! very nice. i'm gonna post some of mine soon...i think i'm getting better.

i think they look absolutely gorgeous. where'd you get the butterscotch brownies from...i'd love to try it. sounds delicious! great job!

ok...thanks for all the advice...i've decided not to reuse the wax!

well,l i just went to lonestars website. already shows discontinued. i guess i got the last case...lucky me!! i love this wax too. if you find something similar let me know!

even though it's been discontinued...i just bought a case from lonestar. i already got it so i guess they still had or have a supply. you might wanna check it out soon!

thanks..but why does it matter if it's the same fragrance since the smell is all gone?

i have a crazy question. my mom uses a candle warmer thingy instead of lighting the candles. she has a lot of candles with the wax all there but the smell is gone. she wants me to just use the old wax and just add the FO. will this work? or should i just use new wax?

yes yes yes....very nice. i love them. don't change a thing!!!

first of all..kalamazoo...your unscented purple ones look amazing!!!

second of all...eugenia...you are just a candle making GOD!!!

i don't see what's wrong with them? i think they look VERY nice!

Eugenia!!! I have been waiting for your response...because you ARE the rustic QUEEN!!!! i don't chill or freeze the mold...but is it ok to put the cooled candle in the mold in the freezer for a few minutes to help the release? what i'm displeased about is a few things. i get a half rustic and half mottled candle it seems. also the swooshing lines seem to be very noticeable and not "smooth" does that make sense? they just don't turn out like yours!!!!!!!! i think i could be doing something wrong with the swooshing part??

dcrome---thanks..you're sweet!!

those look awesome!! very good job!

the top one looks a little like mine. i can't tell what brand it is but i use a wagner. got it at walmart in the paint section and it was pretty inexpensive and works great.

WOW!!!! very nice!

ya'll are being WAY too kind! i'm waiting for the rustic experts to tear me apart!! no but really, i just want to get this down so i can actually post something i'm proud of!

oh come on dcroome!! i've seen yours and they're WAY better than mine...you're just being polite. btw....good luck on atkins..it really works!

first of all...i hope i attatched my pic correctly. you all make this look so easy and i need ya'lls professional help!! i'm having a hard time with my rustics and it is driving me nuts! here's the scoop.. 1343 melted with 3tbs stearic per lb. 1oz fo per lb. heated to 175. cooled to 150. poured in a room temp seamless aluminum mold. poured a little and "swooshed" then poured the rest quickly. let cool at room temp over night. i've done this a dozen times and still can't get it right. PLEASE HELP!

i love lonestar...everything is great from them...but i'm in texas and so are they. delivery is 1 day usually.

so what kind of wax did you use for the rustic? i like it..very nice

i like them alot. nice colors and way better than my firsts!!!

please explain scented!!! i'm having the same look with mine
