    I make soy based candles and use live herbs and flowers. I'm currently looking to network and learn from others. I would love to make a distiller and produce my own essential oils. I'm also working on cut and curl candles. Now a days its all about getting the start up money.

  1. Ohhhh i really like the last one, the colors entice me. They are very natural looking as well
  2. Miadrianel Candles, that sounds like a really good idea. Jazz candle, really like the bright colors, and the dark stones, do u think they will hold up to being burned all the way down? I'm just asking cause I've never used a candle with objects in it. Also what kind of soy wax did you use?
  3. Thanks so much Kitn. Georgia, I'm not sure what underwick means. Can u explain this? As for the leaves burning no, this is really an experiment, b/c they will eventually dry and lose there integrity and color. and I think the regular consumer will not enjoy after a while (but who knows). But I have burned one and it does not affect the lavender leaves. So I'm thinking to do elaborate designs. And market towards weddings and special events, where the the use of candles and flowers/herbs can be used temporarily.
  4. I've been having this idea to put live herbs on soy candles here are a few of the first ones I've done, using lavender leaves and thyme.
