First, I'd like say that you all are amazing at all the info you have posted on this site. It's wonderful and yet confusing to a newbie. It's probably just me... I tend to read, read, read and before I know it I am off reasearching new ideas and get myself lost in what I was looking for in the beginning. lol I'm fortunate enough to have a wonderful supply store close to me. I went and took a inforamtive class last Saturday at Swans. They are really great there and could probably asnwer any questions that I have. But I hate to bug them all time and I'm try to find answers myself. Since I am so new at this. I just started with soy blend and some seemless tins and poured my first candles yesterday. So far so good. My mind is already running off with ideas, but I'm not sure this one is exceptable for containers. I was wondering... Is it possible to add nature items such as leaves, spice and etc to the container? So they show on the outer side? Is this not acceptable for containers? 'm just wondering if the container is not big enough will the items I place in the jar be a fire hazard? We grow our own spices and I would love to stick with containers for a while and try to implement this style if it all possible. But safely!! Pammi
