What a great idea!! That would make a wonderful centerpiece!

What a lovely display, very professional and fun too!! Everything looks so yummy!!

You just need to do a second pour. It is called a sink hole, it happens as the wax cools, you didn't do anything wrong. Just make sure that you always leave a little colored and scented wax left over after your first pour to use for the second pour. No biggie.

beautiful!! I love your candles!! they are so unique, hopefully one day I will try my hand at something like that....maybe. Gorgeous!

So cute!! I just love the bear and the daisy crown....adorable!

Those are beautiful!! Good Job!! I wish I could make candles that well!! I only make containers! I think I may have to experiment!

way to go!! I am sure everything will come out fine, you learn so much on this forum, I have lurked around for so long before getting started and I felt so comfortable once I jumped into my candles, soap and b & b. Good Job!! Let us know how everything looks and take some pics. Hugs, Branda

Those are so nice, Jane. Thank you so much for sharing! It is very much appreciated! Hugs, Branda

oh my goodness!! I found sooo many cute containers for Christmas!! Sister, I am making my list and checking it twice!! LOL

Lavender has always been a good seller for me. Victorian Rose is also good. A good plain vanilla is great as well. Good Luck with your downsizing, it is always so hard. ; )

That is super cute!! the icing looks so real!! yummy is all I have to say!

I go this recipe on the From Nature with Love site Ingredients: Makes 2 lbs. 6 oz distilled water 6 oz aloe vera gel 2 oz castor oil 4 oz cocoa butter 4 oz coconut oil 12 oz olive oil 5 oz palm oil 5 oz palm kernal flakes 4.4 oz lye 2.5 Tablespoons bentonite clay or other drawing clays 1 oz essential oil/blend These EO's are known for healing and preventing acne so choose one or a combination of them. Palmrosa Patchouli Rosewood Lemongrass Lavender This sounds like a good recipe. I think I am going to give it a try as well. I bet you could cut out all of the essential oils if the person you are making it for does not have a problem with acne. I hope this helps. Branda

1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar 3/4 cups carrier oil (i use olive oil/sweet almond oil combo) or enough to get the consistency you like fragrance color T-50 preservative at .05% of your recipe so weigh your ingredients I hope this helps. Branda

I don't really have a recipe, but I made something like this once just playing around with a shower gel base and shea butter, I whipped the shea butter with a little sweet almond oil and before it got too stiff I slowly added the shower gel and kept whipping until I got it the consistency I wanted. You can add fragrance, color and exfoliants to it and they suspend very nicely. I hope that this helps. Hugs, Branda
