Looks good. I like that color.

I like themall, but really like the blue chunks!

I like that shade of blue. The one on the right looks like a stormy sky. Cool.

Looks Great!!

I think that candle is beautiful! And the only fall colors I've seen on trees down here in Texas is brown!

Well, We just got our new candle workroom set up. Have a friend's son to watch in a football playoff game today (his team is undefeated). Then making a couple candles ordered a couple of weeks ago. It's been too hot to try to do too much here in the Dallas area. And with summer utility bills of $500+, I didn't make many candles over the summer. Can't wait to try out new work space! We may have to move some things around to make it easier to get to after trail and error. IT's in my laundry room-1/2 deicated to washing, 1/2 to candles!

I like Donita's sand box idea, but with 3 cats in the house...lol I have a bag of beans I pour into a shallow baking pan, but can only get 2-3 candles in it.

Delightful story! I can relate, having 3 cars myself. Now, throw in a 3 month old fiesty puppy! Gotta love 'em all!

j223 is a good place to start, but why not see if you can get a sample of each and try them all? They all have different properties.

Great looking candles! Great background!

Gorgeous! I love those!

Looking good!

Very cool! Okay-I AM MAKING CANDLES THIS WEEKEND!

Great looking candles! I haven't made any candles all summer (for the most part-TOO DARNED HOT!) and am in the prosess of taking over a room for my candle workshop. With the cooler weather and my very own space, look out! lol And your candles inspire me to get busy!

I think you did one heck of a job on your first pillar! I don't think my first looked that good at all! Great job!

I live far enough inland-near Dallas, but my prayers and thoughts are with my fellow Texans. And as the saying goes-"Get the HELL out of Dodge!". Be safe, everyone. Homes can be rebuilt, but lives cannot! Pack up those pups and get!

I think it's very cute-looks like it took a long time.

Truly beautiful candles!

Hi and welcome. Some people here use roasters. They are kind of slow to melt wax, but holds quit a bit of wax, from what I've read. Lots sof us use the Presto Pot. Melts fast, holds less.

Gee, do I have to pick a favorite? Love them all!

Don't you just love it when your remelts turn out so good?

Now I like that chunk candle!

I like the blue one alot. And the green looks alot lke my cuke/melon! And they will make great test candles!

Beautiful candles! good work!

Your first? Be proud! They look great!
