Count me in the weird group if that's where I belong cause I love these.
-
As always, your soaps are a pleasure to see. Thanks for sharing!
-
They're all beautiful, Richard. Living on the beach, I tend to like the set on the left the best! I can't help myself when it comes to "beachy" looking candles! You and Tracy do beautiful work!

Southern Garden Scents has a wonderful Peppermint Vanilla that Diana used in a scrub demo at a conference. I've been wanting to get that one but haven't yet.

I buy those "matchstick" lighters for my personal use at home and pay $4.95 ea for them.
-
Cathy, I've got a good many of the glass embeds from AH. I'm at the office now and would have to dig them out at home. If I remember correctly, I have more sealife types than any others. BTW--I've always admired your gel candles!

I love the pies but don't sell a lot of them. I now only make them up to order and a few for festivals. They've been around for quite a while. I originally found them on ebay, and they had a good rating. I've ordered crusts and embeds from several people that were really nice, but I finally bought a couple of molds to make my own a couple of years ago.

Wow, that's a company I haven't thought about in a long time. I never ordered much because of shipping since I'm on the east coast. I don't remember having any problem with anything I did get, though. I mainly bought stuff for gel candles and haven't for a while. Whatcha looking for, Lisa? I've got tons of porcelain and glass embeds that will probably never get made cause I just haven't had the urge to make those candles in a few years.

I'm sure the pics do not do it justice. I can just imagine how stunning it must look up close and personal. You do beautiful work.
-
Both SOS and SW carry it.

What a tease!
-
Those are really pretty and definitely for fall!
-
It's definitely a nice tool to have when working with wax. I always stir before checking the temp, too. It's also great for checking the lye mixture temp.
-
I've got one and absolutely love it. Mine's not here with me, and I don't remember the brand right offhand. It was about $110.

I think Tammy just did one on another forum. I order mine from the same place she does the coop www.arizonavanilla.com

However you got that effect, it makes them look like I can almost smell them through the computer. Fabulous.

When I first heard of it, I thought it was to get the fish stink off, too. But, after doing a little research I found that the purpose is to mask the "human" smell from your hands. I found many sites selling it, and some users swear that the fish are also attracted to it somehow. One of the guys I work with says he sees it in different bait and tackle shops. I made a batch using anise, but it's still on the curing rack.

DH and I both lather with the wc and bathe with the wc. I've done this since childhood. When I use gel, I use a pouf.

KY's Pumpkin Pie vs. AromaHaven's Pumpkin Pie Spice
Luci replied to ScentsandMore's topic in Fragrance Discussion
I used AH Pumpkin Pie Spice in soy container candles a few years ago, and it's quite strong. I found one that was at least 3 yrs and burned it recently, and the scent throw was still as strong as ever. -
Beautiful! I'm getting ready to soap this fo, but I doubt mine will look as wonderful as yours!
-
Has anyone seen a mold for these yet?
Luci replied to comfortscents's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
WOW! That's one of the prettiest candles I've ever seen. -
I see you've been busy, and everything looks great. I'm envious since I've got renovations going on and haven't been able to make a thing.

I don't see why jojoba beads would be a problem. I've added a very small amount of jojoba beads in a facial bar for a little gentle exfoliation. When I first heard the term "fisherman's" soap, I initially thought that its purpose would be to take away the stinky on hands. As one who wants to elimate that smell off me asap, I did a little more reading and found that the main purpose is to mask the human smell. So, I left out the scrubbies. I've somewhat changed my mind, though, and will add something in the next batch cause I like scrubbies in my "utility" soaps.
-
I haven't put anything extra in for texture but think I'm going to try a little pumice in my next batch.
