1. What was the first candle you made and how did it turn out? It's been almost a year and a half ago and it was a 8oz mason jar made with a slab of wax from Hobby Lobby, Yales wick, scent and dye block from Hobby Lobby. Turned out pretty bad. Horrible melt pool (wax was definitely not made for containers) and it just looked bad. The fragrance and color weren't too bad though all things considered (peach color and peach fragrance). 2. What resources did you use to research candle making? Internet and this board, which, this board has been my MOST valuable tool...without it I would definitely be where I am today 3. Did you use dyes and FO on your first? yes 4. Do you have a special room or space you use exclusively for your candle making (basement, garage, etc...), or do you use your kitchen? Unfortunately, my kitchen 5. Any suggestions on how I should start (maybe what you think is the "easiest" to make)? Thats up to you, but I would get a starter kit from Peaks or somewhere else...I never got a kit and looking back it would have been a great idea 6. Have any tips that I have not found on this site that may be helpful? If its not on this site, then you don't need to know!!! LOL 7. If you could only make one type kind of candle for the rest of your life, what would that be? Hmmm...containers I guess but then again I haven't tried any other type 8. What is your ultimate candle, the greatest candle you dream of making (and have not yet)? A hurricane __________________
