ditto, never found ones to say exactly what I wanted

Last order I placed, it took almost 4 months to get my order........it was the last time I ordered from them.......they did have nice molds.......don't know what happened. :undecided

I test burn each of mine for a minimum of 4 hours before even selling them (I had a bad cord one time and now I don't trust them without doing that). I have burned MY personal one for at least 10 hours at a time.......with no problems. I do put labels on saying that they still should not be left on unsupervised, and that I have test burned for 4 hours but do not recommend they be burned longer than 8 at a time. JMO HTH

pm'd ya!

I keep one large pot for leftover wax that everything goes into, then I get free sawdust from my local lumber yard.......I mix it with the leftover wax (melted) and scoop into paper baking cups. Sometimes I will top with tiny pinecones or other potpourri for looks. We take them camping and everyone around there practically begs for a couple. Light the paper of the baking cup, and even damp wood will catch and start your campfire. It's so easy, and the cost is practically nothing except the baking cups since it's all leftover wax that would be pitched anyway!

Thank you both so much!!!!!

Does anyone know of a site that lists their scents by color.....I've emailed several companies and have yet to find an answer to if any of these baby scents is clear (baby hugs, baby powder, baby magic, baby anything) ......does anyone know of such a place or does anyone have any "baby" scent suggestions that WOULD be clear or VERY light tinted? Thanks for your help!

Well thats just adorable!!! Thanks!!!!

I've searched and searched and can't find a poem (or similar) to put on a wax dipped bunny..........anyone have a prototype that I could use.....this is for a baby shower gift, and I'd LIKE to do something special, but my brain is not cooperating.........any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks so much!!! One more question.......if anyone can help. If I make refresher oil spray to go with the bear/bunny.......is this the same spray as an air freshener spray i.e. mixed fo with dpg?

LOL........I've been "intending" to try this for years now.......I collect bears.........and it's VERY hard to even THINK about it.....but now I've got a baby shower to go to, for my very first great neice" and I just gotta try it. Altho........now I'm thinking I should do a bunny (may be painless for me) IF I can find one!

Thanks........I guess the only way to know is to just jump in and do it. I didn't want to waste the perfect bear (I only have one thats the perfect size), but I'll give it a go!

I've searched and can't find the answer I need. I want to wax dip a bear for a baby shower gift........I have the most adorable "bear" dress for it (headband to match).........question to those who've made these: Can I even put the dress on a wax dipped bear, and if so, can I still put it on after the wax has dried and the bear is sitting and dried? I was just going to inject her but I was the scent to be really strong, so I thought it might be time to try this, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I just use the ladle........got mine at ace mart.http://www.acemart.com/kitchen/cooking-utensils/ladles/c230-c871-c873-p1.html?cm_mmc=GoogleAdWords-_-Kitchen+General_Ladles-_-1046934961-_-large%20ladle%7C-%7C100000000000000023647

I personally would get the Precious Moments image I wanted and make water slide decals for the containers.......just a thought.

Ok, the vast majority of what was left after Corey, Monica, (me) and a few who bought just a couple of items were purchased by www.gatehousecandles.com but I don't think they've started listing any of Jackie's stuff as of yet. Jackie said there is nothing left other than a few pieces she is keeping herself. If there is a particular piece you are looking for, I can ask if she knows who got it to point you in the right direction if you can't find it.

Corey (Midwest Silicone Molds) took alot of her masters and she makes FANTASTIC molds! Also, Monica (Van Yulay) took a bunch (also great molds), and there's another mold maker (not so well known) that bought ALOT as well, altho their prices are MUCH MUCH higher, and I have no idea of the quality of their molds. I will check and make sure it's ok to post who bought these. I have purchased quite a few masters, just to have the rights....but I usually only make molds for myself since the quality Corey produces is a million times better, and it's just easier for me to concentrate on candle/tart making rather than try to do it all. lol

I have an elephant mold - sorta looks like dumbo....what DO you have in mind?

That, I would understand, my mistake, I thought she said candle company....which IMO if they are a company, they should have learned before they became a company. My bad.

Thats funny.....those little pitchers are awesome....all I use practically. Wish they would bring them back....thankfully they are sooooo easy to clean and I have about 20. If you ever find them somewhere, please let me know and I'll do the same for you!!

Just curious.......why wouldn't you want to tell what company it is?

pm'd ya

I purchased those masters as well (she has more than one of some).....they are adorable!

If any mold makers out there are interested, Jags molds is going out of the mold making business, and she's selling her resin masters. She is no longer taking orders for molds, but most pictures are still on the site so you can see what they look like. Believe me, her items have tremendous detail and so many items are either hand made or made from the real thing, you won't be sorry! http://jagsmolds-candles.bizhosting.com/index.html

you'll ruin your ceramic mold if you pour wax into it......thats what I was told years ago......it will absorb the wax, you'll never get the wax piece out, and it will ruin the mold. needless to say, I didn't try it because I was told by several that this would happen. let us know if you try it. lol
