Looks terrific! Janet

I'm not much of a soap person but the first one is something else. I love the "pattern". Janet

You could put a couple glass beads on the wick so it wouldn't burn down all the way. Janet

You did a great job with the coloring! Love them. Janet

You should take some straight pins and some safety pins. I've taken them in a medicine bottle. Janet

Last time I checked Alabaster still has it. Janet

:laugh2: :laugh2:

Wow! You did a fantastic job. Janet

I googled and found this. Embroidering on Candles and on Soap Hoop 2 layers of bridal tulle, sandwiched between 4 layers of laundry bag. Use 6 layers if you use solvy. Rather over stabilize, especially if it is an "open" kind of design. Embroider the design and trim the solvy and tulle very, very close to the stitching. Soak the embroidery in water, and let it dry. Apply KK2000 to the back of the embroidery, and to the candle, and stuck the embroidery on. Then dip the whole candle in melted paraffin wax. If your candle is large, you can try using decoupage, to apply the embroidery and finish the candle. You can also use a one inch artist brush, to apply the melted wax. Make sure to cover the entire design. You can use this same method for embroidering on soap. In case you want to do embroidery on colored soap, or candles, you can use the same color tulle too. If you do embroidery on soap, dip soap in wax on design side only. The wax preserves the design and will make it last as the bar shrinks. The soap will wash away from the other side and will look nice the whole time.

I'm with scented. The only happy camper is going to be the one that wins. If I didn't win that doesn't mean I wouldn't do the show but the only person benefiting is the winner. I'd love a discount and all the others would too. If this show went well I'd pay on the spot but if I didn't make any or much money I'd sure have to think about paying on the spot. Janet

Wow those are beautiful! Keep in the tilt rut. Janet

If I click on the pic it gets larger. I think you did a great job on the beans. The trick to molds with small openings like coffee beans is put the mold on some foil and use a small container to pour your wax from. After you pour in the mold than take something like a ruler and run it over the top to take off the excess wax. hth Janet

Very pretty! You did a great job. Janet

My ears are burning. I hear ya talking about me. Vicky did a great job with the mold. I really like the sparklies in her candle but she is right, her pic doesn't do it justice so I thought I'd post the pic from my site which shows the many sides and texture to this interesting rock.

Wow that is a beautiful candle! Janet

Very pretty. Looks like you have been having lots of fun. Janet

Oh Mindy that last comment made me laugh. Janet

I read on ebay that they are going to start cracking down on people asking for high prices on shipping. Bought time too. Janet

Congratulations! I'm glad to hear you did so well. Janet

That looks very, very pretty. Janet

I really don't have any idea. Probably t-light but you would have to play around because of the kind of wax you would use. Janet

Here is what I was thinking of. You would have to cut them down. I tried to find these on different sites but decided I'd have better luck on ebay. This is just a suggestion that maybe you can find where you live. I've used this type in very, very tall hurricanes. http://cgi.ebay.com/BATTERY-OPERATED-FAKE-WAX-STICK-WINDOW-LIGHT-CANDLES_W0QQitemZ320000800979QQihZ011QQcategoryZ10935QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I think you did a good job but the candle might be too tall for a t-light. You might want to try a battery operated light so the wax doesn't melt. Janet

Ok I'll jump in here. I don't know if this is allowed or not but I believe it is my rose molds that she is using. Janet

I think they are perfect! Janet
