I thought the forum doesn't allow hotlinking without permission of the owner. I was going to bring that up in the other thread but figured it would get lost in the upheaval.

What is "hotlinking"?

Ok, I'm not trying to stir anything up and this may have already been posted on here but I wanted to share how all negative and false marketing CAN and does affect other companies. :undecided

Very pretty, thats a great mold.

Hi everyone, just thought I would share some HP soaps for my next show.

Be My Clementine, Honey Lavender, Lemon Sorbet, Moonlight Sonata, Cranberry Banana and Cervesa De Lima (beer soap).

Thanks for looking :smiley2:

I always love looking at your pics. #3 is also my fav too! I'm with you-- doing photo shoots outdoors with natural light is the best. I am envious that you have access to a beach! I have to drive for about 4 hrs to the nearest beach but then it would be 20 degrees there! LOL

All your pics are lovely. Looks like you had some fun. BTW-- I like the idea of a photo shoot at a Cabana-- maybe get a Cabana boy to hold the candle. LOL

lol...now all I need to do is to find a cute cabana boy!

Love the colors!

I would stay within that range, are there any instructions on the vendors site? This is a really soft wax, are you mixing it with another was or just using it straight up? I have tried mixing it with soy and want to try mixing it with apricot wax when I get around to getting some.

I think your products and your website are awesome, but I don't think any of those photos do them justice. Hot colors, like orange, would look great next to the blue ocean. I'd love to see a pic of your candle in the wet sand with the surf coming in around it, maybe a shell or two. I'd love to see one on top of a fence post with a polo game in the background. Also, at a pool cabana, maybe at night...

lol...they sound like great ideas! I wanted to hit more locations but was on a limited time frame.Maybe next day off I will try to get some beach shots. Plus I want to borrow a friends camera which is a million times better then my point and shoot.

I thought CC was also suppose to have some new oils

@Stella...lol, whenever your in town let me know.

@Beth...lol, that is freakin cold!

Here are a few more...some without the candles.

Thanks everyone, #3 will go on the site but the others were just for fun.

I wanted to get some out door photos for the website so I packed up some candles and headed to Palm Beach, thought I would share. Thanks for looking :smiley2:

I normally get a full melt poor at about two hours...You think I am still wicking to high? It is a 3" jar...do you usually wait a full three hours? It only melts down about 1/2 or so at 4 hours...and is that a zinc wick you are suggesting? I can't use zinc wicks...my customers would wig out!

Why would your customers wig out? I use a para/soy mix with 464 also and I very rarely get a full melt pool on the first burn, it will usually kick in on the 2nd burn. I would actually be a little concerned if a 3" container was getting a full melt pool at 2 hours. Remember that it will be twice as hot at the second half of the burn and it should clear any hang up you might have. I would think that a CD 12 should be fine for that 65/35 ratio.

Wow, that You Tube is scary stuff!

oh, forgot to add, why are you trying to get a full melt pool after 2 hours anyway?

Try a 51z wick with that combo and see how that does.

Darn it!!!!!! And the dope I am I ordered another 16 oz. (because I was just so sure it was going to be great and wanted to take advantage of their 'shipping sale').....Oh well, I think I'll use it in other things, but boy, it does smell soooo good. Rats. Thanks for the feedback.

Don't give up yet, how about in HP instead? I have never soaped it but it might be fine in HP.

Thanks everyone, nice to hear good things after so many issues...lol

@SingleYellowRose...thank you, to be honest those are real easy to make and get at a local office supply. I believe the are 3M 3100-A or Avery 5160. They turn upwards on the ends because of the oval shape of the portion cup but it really doesn't affect the look at all. HTH :smiley2:

Very nice job! It's looks fantastic!

Yes I feel like this wholesale order I'm doing now is never ending too! I had to wait for supplies b/c of the holiday, then I didn't have enough FO, then I had to order molds....it was like if anything could go wrong, it did. LOL Tomorrow is a week since the order was placed and I'm anxious to get the order finished and to the shop. It's been stressful.

Lol...I don't feel so bad now...hope it gets done with no more issues.

Phew, I don't know why but this order seemed like it would never end. Its not a big order but I kept making mistakes and having to re-do stuff...:undecided Has this ever happened to anyone? Well after all the chaos just thought I would share...lol

I love it, you did a great job!

Awesome!

Ditto, love this one.

Another vote for The Candle source Cinnamon & Sandalwood. Its one of my favorites!

I want my house back, I need a dedicated work space! santa cool

Those are so cute and the colors are pretty.
