very beautifiul!

Many eons ago there was a similar candle pic and I have been trying to reproduce it for years! Very beautiful...I am envious!

Always, always, always a pleasure to see your work...it is almost intimidating, they are so beautiful!

You still have the magic touch! They all look amazing!

Absolutely amazing!!

something different...whipped wax over a hurricane shell, flower cut-outs, and artificial flowers stuck in the middle of the cut-out...the whole thing is covered in iredescent(?) glitter and the green wax is scented gardenia.

They are plain shells with the whipped wax on the outside and cookie cutter shapes. The snowflake one is painted with craft glitter/tacky glue.

I haven't posted in forever. My candlemaking has been exclusively limited to special order picture 'canes. I finally had some time to play and this is what came out of it.

Nothing in the pot but, I am busy organizing and cleaning the supplies and I am going back to candlemaking as my supplemental income. After over a year of trying to take care of 3 kids, a house, and a full time job outside the home, I have given up the job.

I live close enough to have visited Early American...The first time I went, I was overwhelmed with all the candle stuff at my fingertips! I left with 1 mold and some wick samples...the next time I went back, I had prepared a list of exactly what I wanted. While the warehouse guy retrieved my listed items, I wandered around and drooled all over the things I wanted on the next trip!

My first impression was "WOW"...I think the roses are gorgeous....when I make "candles for decoration" I don't use a wick, but a straightened paper clip...in the event someone tries to light it, they aren't going to get very far.

That is as about as perfect that I have ever seen...great candle making!

I think they are quite beautiful and would go great in my living room!

I sat down with all the supplies the other night and just started putting stuff together...it actually came out pretty nice, but my fingers hurt too bad to sew the snaps on...that's o.k....all she does is throw they blanket around and drool on it...I'm sure I'll get the snaps on before she is old enough to actually start using them.

My 9 month old is crazy for zippers, buttons, snaps, and overalls buckles so I went out and bought all these things along with a yard of fabric and some iron on, fusible webbing...I just can't visualize the finished product, so I can't visualize the process as to how to get to the finished product...any suggetions? I do have a sewing machine and I know how to use it(in a home ec. sort of way!).
