Hi from AZ. Like everyone else, I have been practicing for two years now. My testers are telling me that things are looking good with my rustic pillars. I know they are awesome to look at, but they are burning good too. Yeah, finally I will take some to a craft show in Dec and give the public a shot. Scary scary first for me. I read somewhere that candle making is an addiction to which I must say " I am a full fledged member". Someone here already said, it is cheaper than going to a therapy, I belive that too. And if I never ever sold one, I would still be a happy camper. Friends and family would get great gifts and I would be broke all the time.... but I love it. Keep the wax melting.......
