Don't laugh too much, I took this photo in early morning sun on the tailgate of our pickup truck. It was firewood cutting day..:smiley2:

Very Pretty, I like them all. Love the effect that you got in the tall one..

The general rule is that the meltpool should acheive a diameter of about 1 inch per hour. 2" in 2hours, 3 1/2" in 3 1/2 hours etc...:smiley2:

check your pm box - got a little story to tell on the pralines..lol.. ..but the quick answer is no, they're not done yet.

That is a good deal. Too bad I already spent this months budget on 1343, more molds and fo.

Who was it that had the hot pink candles in the gallery a few months ago. maybe it was dcroome2005, if so, she knows how to make a hot, hot pink..:smiley2:

There's also a free editing program at www.irfanview.com that works pretty well and pretty easily.

Thanks all, Very much! tlc, the wax is IGI's 1343, sometimes referred to as 1343A. It's fairly common and can be found at quite a few suppliers.

Those look really great - well done - she's gonna love em for sure!...

Thought I'd try making something with a bit of a fresh feeling/smell. Scented with "Rainwater" from CS.

LOL - yeppers that first one has just gotta get burned. At least you have a pic...

Looking Good!...burn baby burn!...glow baby glow!...

Feels good doesn't it! Way to Go! ...

I see. Thanks for the info. :smiley2: Was wondering if it may help to incorperate fo into 1343 with reduced or no bleeding. I'm using vybar 343 in my rustics/mottles and am putting in 6% fo (or a bit under) and sometimes the candles tend to bleed or sweat a bit.

My question about this additive is this. How does it affect mottling? Does it allow mottling to occur or does it kill it so to speak, the way that vybar 103 does.

It looks a lot like this C-15 pictured here. But what do I know...:smiley2: it's just a guess. http://candlemakers.zoovy.com/category/additives.hardener_c_15/

Gloss Poly crystals....?

Those are beautiful - love the colors - and the way that you layered them! Very nice candles indeed!....

Those are nice, I'll bet that they smell nice too. Well done!

Chris77 covered it very well. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/12/09/earlyshow/contributors/tracysmith/main660125.shtml "There's no such thing as a perfectly safe candle," says Jim Shannon of the National Fire Prevention Association. "The most recent statistics we have, for one year: about 190 people killed from candle fires in the United States, and almost 1,500 injured." Those statistics also show that, in one year alone, the number of candle fires rose 15 percent, and nearly 5 percent of home fires were started by candles. Compare that to the early '80s, when only around 1 percent of house fires were caused by candles. Why the increase? Experts say it's the jump in the popularity of candles. "In the last 10 years, the increase in candle sales has been at least 700 percent," notes Valerie Cooper, executive vice president of the National Candle Association. "We believe that 80 percent of all candle fires can be eliminated by three basic safety precautions: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from things that can catch fire, and keep away from children and pets," she suggests. New York City Fire Chief John Coloe says, "You have to remember that, every time you light one of these things, you've started a small fire in your home."

Wow! you have been busy. I like them all. Does the small grey one have shells on it - looks like it! Those are great!...:highfive:

Very Nice - I love the green ones! and it definitely proves that you are working in your new studio... Looks like a lot of work to me. Well Done!..:highfive:

Well Done, nervous mamma... ...

Very Pretty Yellow Roses..:smiley2:

Ha! I love it!...:smiley2:
