Who's leg are you trying to pull??? They are beautiful!

Thank you all for responses and great ideas...garden gloves and asssorted towel products are much easier to access than having to place an order, pay shipping, and wait for the product!

I really want to order a hold a mold for my hurricane molds, but I am wondering about the durability of the overall product and I see that Peaks also offers spring replacements...how often do the springs need replaced? Any feed back would be great and my pathetic, continuosly burned and cut thumbs would appreciate it.

I just started using the ceramic tiles (a box of 250 for $19.97 at Lowe's)...I also really like the sand in the bottom of the hurricane.

Sorry....I'm not the ice candle maker...(maybe after the ice melts)water candles

I know hubby hates all the time and attention the candles get instead of him...who has time to cuddle...I just got a new case of wax!!

Really beautiful colors (and candles too!)...that is one of my favorite scents also, but didn't get alot of interest in it with my clients...oh well...more for me!

All VERY amazing!!!

That is intimidatingly AMAZING!

Thanks all for the comments...the color combo/scent were a customer request...I guess I would have never put all three together either.

helps to attach the photo. DUH me!

I did a blue set similar to these...all scented lavendar. The scent sachet is of real lavendar from my garden. They are just sitting on the dining room table waiting to be packaged. That has got to be my least favorite aspect of candle making!!

These are scented blackberry sage and also cold pour/ rustic...I have a third one still in the mold that still needs repoured. These still need leveled.

the circle pillar is cold pour rustic...the star is astorlite G...both are scented cucumbermelon...the yellow flower is a dahlia...I bought bulbs at Lowe's at the end of spring for 50% off....it is almost as big as a dinner plate, and this is one of the small ones!

Thanks all for the comments...the straightened paperclips are actually the "wicks"....about a year ago, I got into making these and went thru test burning and such...a real taper(for the life size flower I wanted to make) had a top burn time of about 30 min. and caused a small hole in the back of the color part of the flower...the taper could be replaced, but it still left the hole, which just ruined my perfect, almost real, little flower. So I came up with the paperclip idea and labeled them as "wax creations" instead of candles...the tag clearly states "FOR DECORATIVE PURPOSES ONLY" They are a PITA b/c I hand dip each paperclip individually using tweezers...when the taper is about half the diameter I want, I attach the taper to a dowel, then finish the dipping. These are scented mixed floral fragrances...the tapers are with taper wax and the wax flower shell is cut and carve(maybe 6051, but don't quote me) from failed cut&carve experiements. I pour a bit of the melted wax into a glass baking dish and let it cool until it is pliable enough to handle without destroying then cut out the teardrop shape and wrap it around the taper on the dowel(upside down) then stand in front of the air conditioner with it still upside down until it cools enough to hold its shape! Hope that answers most of the questions and thanks for looking.

it is hard to see from the pic, but this one has notches carved above the orange webs just to fill some of the space.

I posted awhile back with one of these, but I didn't like it, so it went back into the pot and these emerged.

they aren't as big as the pics make them look...the tallest measures about 6 inches.

pink.......

blue with white c

hand dipped mini taper(fake--used a straightened paper clip)with a wax tear drop shape wrapped around to form the flower.

W:cheesy2: W!!! That is really beautiful!

Thanks all for the info and help...I did research on the astorlite site, but must have missed that bit of info. about the color.

I am making an order for a baby shower(2 pillars and 20 votives) using astorlite F...my light blue just came out of the molds as a light lavendar! I used blue and white liquid dyes and UV....what am I doing wrong and is there something I can do to get the correct color?

Got an order for 8 pillars and 70 votives, in F wax, for the 20th. Working on getting that finished so I can continue stocking for a craftshow in November.
