That looks delicious and probably smells delicious too. Great palm pattern and colour.

Nope, I can't say I EVER get sick of looking at your candles, so keep 'em coming candle queen. They are gorgeous.

No, I can't see a lack of creativity in THAT candle - maybe you are just way too hard on yourself. I love that candle, the colour looks great. Keep creating and posting.

Ditto, I love them too. Certainly gets the creative juices going, seeing your pics. Lovely!

They are beautiful Donita. I especially love the one with the rosebuds.

Very pretty colours and palm patterns - they look great.

Wow, pretty - it almost looks like it has been coated in confetti.

They are big and beautiful - I like them!

Donita, what can I say - two of my favourite things, candles and roses - I love these. You're a marvel.

LOL - No, it definitely isn't ugly as snot - I liked both your candles. You'll find a smaller torch so easy to work with - but I do think you're doing well with the big one.

They both look beautiful. I've got my first bottle of liquid dye and I'm dying to get time to do a marble. Soon. It's just not that easy with shavings so you have done very well!

They both look good to me SD - well done. The possibilities are endless with these and each one is so unique. When lit, they will glow and look even more fantastic.

Donita, that is a masterpiece, as usual! I love the colors and the layering is just perfect.

That is fabulous - it looks like a canvas just waiting for the artist to create a masterpiece. It is so very spic and span too. Like Jooniper, I like to say that my mess is creativity in the making, but if I'm honest, I could be a bit tidier as I do love a neat workspace. Have fun in YOUR new space.

I think it's gorgeous! Love the strong rich colors

I tried one today. Umm... didn't go well...LOL. Ok, it was a square pillar, but tan, not white. Like with Vicky, this was just sitting there and I couldn't seem to get a white one made.

Now, my question... how did ya'll manage to get the colors to all the edges?? Each time I start melting, it starts to spread, but as soon as I remove the heat, the middle acts like a sponge dropped in water... all the colors just sucks into the middle

Hi SD, my guess would be that if you use a little bit less flame and a quicker sweeping action when melting the dye, it will get to the edge better. It's a slow process and it's a good idea to let the melted dye set up a bit before licking it with the flame again.

Vicky that is amazing - I love the darker colours and I'm glad you showed everyone how these candles glow. Beautiful! I'm so glad I did this tutorial because now I can see everyone's masterpieces!

They all look great - my favourite colours are the blue and purple. Beautiful.

That is beautiful - the palm patterns are just gorgeous and I love the colour.

I love your colours and design - absolutely fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing your pic. These are so much fun to do as each one is unique and yours is to drool over.

Ohh, that's beautiful! You did great! Are you addicted to it yet?

Wish I hadn't been at work

Don't fret SD, you can always do the class now. I'm on line frequently so if you ever want to ask questions, please do.

Oh Sharyl, they are absolutely gorgeous - well done! Your colours look wonderful and being an everlasting, the candle will last forever. Thank you for sharing your pic.

They all look fantastic - excellent photos, beautiful candle and great melts. I've just got to get me one of those heart molds and some heart melt molds. I haven't seen any here in Aussie land yet but I shall keep looking.

Hi Sharyl,

Yes, I usually put way too many shavings on my first side every time before I actually remember that less is better. That's the beauty of these, if you don't like the result you can simply remove what's been done and start again. I'm looking forward to seeing your candle.

One question on the torch flame. From the photos it looks like yours is about 1" or is that too big. I got a micro torch. Don't know if it has that big a flame. With any luck I'll be able to post my picture tomorrow.

Thanks for doing this class Jo. :highfive: You made it look like a piece of cake. Know it isn't but will be fun trying the technique.

No worries, you are very welcome. It is a piece of cake as you will find out. I think the micro torch will work fine - I think the flame was about 3/4 of an inch or less. I'll be on the lookout for painted candles! ! ! !

Those are beautiful Jojo T.:highfive: :highfive: Did a good job

Thank you Sherry. And yours will be too, I'm dying to see what others make.
