Well just get drunk, pick a fight with the dh and try again! LOL

I love black and white together. Makes for a striking candle. Nice work!

Yep, leaving it IN the mold is the easiest way I've found. I usually just use the bottom of a presto and then pour off the remaining wax into a tart mold LOL

Jelly Jars and Mayo Jars are my personal favs and my customers always seem drawn to them, more so than any decorative containers I've ever offered.

Made with igi 1343 and scented with Sultry Angel.

Here's one i made a while back. Scented with peak's ocean fo.

These were titled "Mountain Lake" and were made by Tanya a while back. They are too lovely to be lost in the archives somewhere so i thought I'd repost these. Phenomenal work Tanya

They are made using a silicone mold. They burn on average about 6-7 hrs and measure about 3" at their widest point.

I've used RRD's in my pillars before and they do wonderful. RRD40 is WAY too big for a votive. I would suggest a RRD 29 to start. FYI: Here's some size recommendations for the RRD's wRRD29 Small Candles, approx. 2 - 2.25" wRRD34 Small Containers, approx. 2.25 - 2.5" wRRD37 Medium Containers, approx. 2.5 - 3" wRRD40 Medium Containers, approx. 3 - 3.25" wRRD47 Large Containers, approx. 3.5" wRRD50 Large Containers, approx. 3.75" wRRD55 Large Containers, approx. 4 - 4.5" edited to add: The pillars I used these wicks with was 1343. Since you are using soy which typically requires to wick up a size, I would say the dimensions suggested for the rrd29 might just work out. Give it a try, that's the onlyway you're going to know for sure. If you don't have any, let me know and i can send you a couple to test.

If memory serves me, I believe the body butter recipe that was listed that included Hemp, was Kimberly's. ShannonJ and Bunny also had some recipes for body butters listed.

That's ok Deanna. We're all still getting the hang of the new board.

Hi Deanna, Welcome!! Most times people will give some details on their creations they post. As soon as Alan is able to restore the "archives" you can peruse through the gallery there and get lots of info and inspirations. There are also some tutorials on the sidebar of the mainpage featuring different candlemaking techniques that you might find helpful.

Those top ones sure are interesting!! Nice vibrant colors.

Not my favorite color, but you sure have some nice textures there

ok, why are the pics being listed as a link? What am i doing wrong?

Because I'm retarded

Adding attachments is alot different these days LOL

These are going to be used as "floating" roses in ivy bowls as the centerpieces for the tables at a wedding reception. Used Astorlite V wax (love this wax for the molded candles), and the silicone molds are from Creative gems.

It's going to take some getting used to but it sure does look purdy
