Thanks so much Nancy. Actually, it's gold metallic dip with a dip in black to make a mocha brown color. I have been carving the candlefun way for about a year mostly unity candles. I taught myself about 6 years ago by surfing the web and watching people make them at craft fairs, etc. I was just fascinated with it and was determined to learn it. I know you will do great at festival. Are you going to carve there also? Best of luck!! Enjoy!
