  1. Thanks to all, I had read that it was the same as plumeria but I know it does smell different to me. I have a friend who wants a blend of frangipani and amber. What would be a good ratio to start with? I'm thinking of testing 75/25. Any other thoughts?

  2. 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.......

  3. Is basket arrangements what everyone uses the dipped pinecones for? I don't know why I'm asking...I'll never get around to making any! They are all really nice and I can almost smell them from here.

    I made them for firesarters, but they do work for decorations also

  4. Thanks! Let me think how long I have been making candles.. I placed my first candle supply order in July 2000, so 7 years. I love it, especially pillars, cause sometimes you just never know what they will look like and the waiting for them to cool before you get them out of the molds seems forever but that is part of the fun and trying new techniques etc.

    I love that part too, is that called anticipation or no patience?
