Ok....here goes nothing. This is my first marble, first mottled and FIFTH attempt at rustic. Lots of fun playing with 1343A.

The marble looks great..

I can't find how to edit the thread and obviously I didn't know how to size the picture!

I'll try again with a different picture and hopefully the moderator will resize that one.

I have that shelving as well! I have had mine for quite a few months and they have held up really well..

Great pics!

WOW, ALAN I LOVE THIS BOARD!!! So incredibly clean and fresh!

Okay, now that I'm done ooh'ing and aah'ing over it, time to move on.

Yeah, been a while since I posted anything, I haven't actually been in the kitchen that much. Took a week off to do nothing and I think it did me some good, though my apartment is still a wreck.

My first candle after my hiatus was for me, just me. The FO's used was French Vanilla and Leather, 9 x 3 pillar. Two ounces total of FO if I'm not mistaken, notebook not near me. Ivory IS mottled, the black wasn't. And it was exactly the effect I was going for.

If this wasn't an indication that I need to get back and create my candle art, nothing will.

Thanks for looking and please, I need feedback!

Just an FYI:

Had about 3 lbs of unused wax left in the melt pot over night, set it on burner, turned heat to low like I always do...went about cleaning some molds, etc. Just as I turned back to the stove, it blew straight up like Old Faithful. Hot wax went everywhere, the stove top, the back of the stove, the wall and even up in the hood. Can't repeat the words that spewed from my mouth !! So, I considered it a lesson learned and next time I poked holes in the wax before putting it on the burner. Came back a few minutes later, the holes had sealed over so I stuck a poker into the unmelted wax to reopen the holes and it blew again, this time all over my hand, arm, face & hair. Hurt like heck but the wax wasn't hot enough to blister the skin...just my pride. Today I'm cleaning the stove

OMG!

You are so lucky you or nobody else was hurt!!

Eeek..never melt wax directly on the stove.. Scary~

I made this one for my office at work. I poured a few ounces into room temp mold, tipped the mold several times so the wax would cover the inside of mold, let it sit for a minute or so then filled the mold pouring slowly. The pouring temp was around 140. The directions are off Peak Candle Supply site under instructions. I didn't do a cold water bath tho.

looks great, the color is really pretty!!

What scent is it?

Thanks everyone The first one I made I was too impatient to wait until it completely cooled and when I tried to pop it out...well....lets just say it wasn't ready to come out yet...LOL

I have done that so many times!! LOL

I am extremely impatient!!!

I made these a while ago and wanted to post them, so here they go.

The oblique looks small because I used the left over wax I had and there wasnt that much but i wanted to see what a small oblique looked like.

The Gel candles I made back when I used to make GEL candles

Great job!!!

I burn mine to see how they react from start to finish and to double check the longetivity.

Thats what I do as well..

the big one is pink sugar (used 1343 & mineral oil) and the two green ones are green tea (used 4625).

very nice job!!!

Nothing Special!!!

Looks good!

Here's a few sets that are set up in the Tuscany Furniture store.

I LOVE those!!

AWESOME colors!

She lost her house during last year's hurricanes and having a new home built. So she is slowing replacing her stash. These are all dark green scented in Jasmine and Blueberry Cobbler I hope she likes them

They look great!!

My mom found these They have a little votive cup on top. But the standard votives we all make are too tall. I may just pour right into the cup. Who ever did these is a very good painter. Something I am not I thought they were cute

They are very cute!!!

Did this for a co workers 3 year old daughter. Scented Sweet Pea.

She is too cute@!

Need to work a little more on the coloring, but I think they'll make cute tarts.

Shiskabob and Sliced Onions (Vanilla Scented)

and a Fruit Cup (Scented as it should be.)

The shiskabob made my husband hungry...lol

Great job!!!!

Looks so real!

This is in response to the electric candle thread in the general candlemaking forum. These were done with hurricane wax, neon pigments and a clear overpour sprinkled with glitter. Really pretty after dark and a great seller for me..

The size is about 4 1/2" x 4 1/2".

Great job!!

Holy Canoly that pic is huge!

VERY huge!

This was my first attempt at a marble, and I loved how it turned out. This was also made with the hurricane wax. The puppy was dipped and scented Vanilla, the other candle was a Burgundy chukie, with a solid color layer on the bottom, scented Mulberry.

I like the colors!!

Finally we can have that margarita!! These are scented in Lime Margarita!

That is too cool!
