  1. Thanks all! Beeswax does make a beautiful candle. I've been testing the waters to see if there might be a local market for BW Unity candles...custom scented...either to match the wedding flowers, or scented in floral scents based on name meanings of the bride and groom, or some other scent that is very personal to them. So far the feedback has been good!
  2. You have a magic touch, Donita! Beautiful!!!!
  3. Hard to see on the white background. I think I need to break down and get photoshop. Thanks for looking!
  4. How about Starry Lights? (a play on the title of Vincent Van Gogh's "The Starry Nights")
  5. I posted a "Red Hat" candle in a cosmo glass in the gallery. Scroll down for the better pic. http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44166
  6. Gosh, both are beautiful! The blue is very striking...but I LOVE the scallop shells!
  7. Here's a better pic...adusted in PSP.
  8. If it leaked wax when the wick came out...you might have big air pockets in the middle of the candle, and when it burns, it will leak, Ask me how I know.
  9. Hard to tell in the pic, but it's got red Swarovski crytals on the ribbon. Kinda sassy! Scented NG's Red Hat fragrance. Thanks for looking!
  10. girlyrace, what temp do you pour? I know your right about the wet spots bothering me more than they might bother my customers...I just hate em! LOL
  11. It's a Libbey Glass. I've never had one shatter. MANUFACTURER NAME: Libbey ITEM #: 400LIB DETAILS: INDIVIDUAL ITEM SIZE: 8 Oz. CAPACITY: 8 Oz. HEIGHT: 3.875 inches TOP DIAMETER: 4 inches BOTTOM DIAMETER: 2.25 inches MAXIMUM DIAMETER: 4 inches 12 per case for $16.64 through Restockit.com
  12. By babysitting I mean repeated zapping of the heat gun on those pesky wet spots, then wrapping the candle. Each time there are fewer wet spots. Some have taken 4 zap and wrap sessions over a 3 day period. But it's kinda labor intensive. I have played with pour temps, 150, 140, 130 120 and 110. Maybe I just haven't found the "sweet spot" yet. Plus I have this programmable thermostat that automatically drops to 62 degress in the middle of the night, and I can't figure out how to get it to stay above 70, LOL.
  13. Have any of you switched from Ecosoya 135 to Ecosoya Advanced and then back to Ecosoya 135? If so, why? I have been testing EL Millenium Blend and Ecosoya 135 this week. I can get a nice candle with both, with a LOT of babysitting. (I know everyone says to embrace the wetspots...but I can't, LOL ) Both throw good. I think I like the Ecosoya better. Should I test the Ecosoya Advanced? I have read some opinions that the hot throw is not as good as the 135. If the hot throw is not as strong...I will just do the babysitting routine. TIA!
  14. I do candles in cosmo glasses. Love how they look.
  15. Anyone have any reviews for NG or Millcreek Tulip in soy? TIA!
  16. Thanks gmp! I've learned a lot about Big Cats working with the rescue. Your son would LOVE that place!
