I'm amazed at your talent. I think that these are my favorite that you have ever done! Very different.

LOVE the pillar. Great color and mottling!

Great looking soaps. Love the color on the China Rose.

Ash those look great! I hope when I make mine they will look that good!!

Julie those are so cool! I love seeing your creations. They are always different and beautiful.

Yes you can do layers. I would say the advantage of 223 is its hot and cold throw, but you are going to get wet spots.

That marble is BEAUTIFUL! Great job on all of them.

They all look great and bet they smell good. That blue one is my favorite also. Love how vibrant the colors are!

I love those boxes! 250 is a bunch, but the guests will love it.

Are you using Zinc wicks? If so they usually do mushroom. I use Zinc wicks all the time and if you trim your wick before each burn they don't cause a problem. Some don't like the mushrooming so have found other wicks that work well for them. I have noticed that if you are using the correct size of wick mushrooms will still be there but not so bad.
