During these oh so hot days of summer, you may want to ship in styro and maybe a chunk of dry ice

I used one of those in my first candle!

WOW that a cool concept! (Gonna have to search the patent for this and see how it works

OK well since I really wasnt all that satisfied with those candles I went and spent the day experimenting! This is the result! I spent the whole day experimenting, And experimentation yeilds shocking results! (Atleast to me, since I just started doing this yesterday) Here is what I am calling "Grandma's Country Home" it consits of a balanced mixture of Spiced Apple, Vanilla, and Cinnamon fragrances. The bottom is a deep orange (kind of like a pumpkin) and the top is a dark chocolate brown with a heart set inside. Please tell me what you think! Sorry for the poor quality images (Using a cheap webcam)

oh I am having a blast! Dare I even say slightly addicted! Yeah I would have prefered a different color heart but they were pre made hearts I bought a long time ago!

What is the website for the company in question? Aside from loving the craft of candle/soap/everything making, I am also a geek with a mean streek for companies that don't deliver on their goods! I'll get thier info for you!

ok well in that case they came out nice! but I didnt know it was a different kind of wax!

Ok well it is official, I have created my first candle! Thanks to a kit I picked up from Hobby Lobby! (Double Boiler Set-Up) Votive Mold (Put it in one of those buffet dishes for easy cleanup) Putting in the wick (No Color or Scent for this one!) Added Color to this one! Pouring the purple wax into mold #2 Chill Out! Gotta wait.... Ok as you can see there are no finale pics, mainly because I am not satisfied witht eh outcome. As they cooled they looked very I dont know, not like I wanted... I looked at the label on the boiler and it said "Palm Wax" is that supposed to come out looking marbled?

Well my weekend will involve doing MY FIRST CANDLE! I am so excited about this! It will be a votive. first unscented, then will try to add scent, and then make one scented adn color!

I just picked up a kit from hobby lobby so I can learn how to do this, thanks for the friendly welcome! And the idea I had that prompted this question... A martini glass container, chocolate colored parafin wax drizzled ont he bottom, and clear gel filled up over that and *POOF* The chocolate Martini Candle perfect for lighting your wet bar (every house has one here in louisiana!)

Ok I went walking through hobby lobby, and so now here I am. I have always wanted to make my own candles, and seeing the materials there, well needless to say I am getting into it! But I have some general questions, I have been brainstorming some ideas for candles I want. I am not a big fan of the general candles. One that I want to do would involve the use of gel wax over a small accent amount of normal wax, I was curius if this was possible!
