Nice job! The design is very neat and clean. Love the colors you used too!

Wow, that looks really nice!

Those came out pretty cool!

Those couldn't have turned out better!

E those pillars and wraps turned out great!

Love those carved candles!

Thank you everyone!

I was rather bored today and decided to dig up some of my cane supplies. They're always fun to make.

You make some kick ass soap!

Cute, they remind me of easter eggs!

Just a though... Clamshells seem easier to recycle than individual wrappers. Maybe you can put a "Please Recycle" sticker on the packaging?

swinging wicks do nothing for me, personally... I much prefer my wicks to stand tall and straight! Or slightly curved to the left...

Slightly to the left usually hits the spot.

Cool, thanks guys.

I bought a pound of babassu and it came in a plastic bag. The stuff was fine for a day or two and now is turning into a liquid and separating. Does this oil require refrigeration or do I leave it as is in room temp?

Forgive the resurrection, but I came across this wax while researching.

Is this the same one:

Wouldn't the 1% vybar eliminate mottling and help hold FO?

Are you guys referring to avocado oil, butter, or both?

Hi Soapers :wave: can I join in on the fun?

If you're putting their wedding picture on it, I would use the actual wedding date.

I am not sure why you would think the 444/4627 would crack and pull away from the jar. They are both container waxes and I found the combination of the two was a perfect combination for me to wick and get great scent throw.

The 444 by itself gave me nightmares wicking but mixing in the 4627 fixed it. I get beautiful creamy candles and not one bit of cracking or pulling away from the jars.

I think this way because it's a blend that I myself have tried. I've tried 50/50 as well, and also a 70/30 of 4627/444. Even the high paraffin % mixture acted and looked funky. It seems that you've had a similar experience before too: http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53004

I'm convinced 4627 isn't blend able, but I'm glad it's working for you .

It is 100% paraffin but as little as 10% added to soy eliminated the frosting when I started playing with it. I have gone up to a 70/30 or 50/50 blend depending on the jar and how hard of a time I am having wicking it.

I'm really surprised that you were able to make a satisfactory 70/30 or 50/50 blend with 444/4627. I'd imagine it would crack and pull away from the jar.

Looks good, I really like your label. Is that metallic paper?

How pretty, I love them all!

That's really neat Larry!

I imagine that you would need to use less paint, and the colors stand out/look more realistic if you color the candle brown first. But I think you should try without the color anyway to see the comparison.
