  1. Hey Kimmeroo...It was in my plans for today but I got side tracked with the Palm Pillars. Have you tried them yet? I'm trying to design my own plug to use in the forever pillars but ran into a few snags. I think I may try the dye marbled thingy on a small scale using votives. That shouldn't take to long to do and if it looks really crappy at least I didn't waste much wax and fo. lol If it doesn't come out looking like mud, I'll post them.:laugh2:

  2. I bet that pink color casts a pretty glow. It looks pretty good to me. :smiley2: I'd love to try one but don't have the correct wax right now. I'm going to watch the tutorial tomorrow.

    My oven must not be level 'cause my palm pillars are always a little off. I could use some advice on leveling also. I'm using the pan over water technique but sometimes it seems like I'm just making it worse.

    Maybe someone can offer some "tricks of the trade".

  3. Hi Jeni...the JBN palm was the first one I tried. I think it came out okay but didn't produce the patterns I was hoping for.

    When I was researching the different palm waxes I kept coming across suggestions of adding soy to change the patterns. So I tried it...

    The first one had a TBL spoon of soy added.

    The second one (green) had a tsp. of soy added. (no change to the pattern).

    The third was my first try at a "forever". No soy added.

    I haven't tried palm container...so can't help with that.
