    Sharyl, your plans sound perfect. Have fun with it!

    You've inspired me to have a go - I must get a stylus. Your candles all look fabulous.

    I like them too, the colours are beautiful.
  4. Jojo T.
    How about chocolate brown?
  5. Jojo T.
    These are fabulous - did you use individual decals or one sheet with the lot on it wrapped around?
  6. Jojo T.
    They are all great. Are the blue ones in wedgewood blue also? They're a lovely colour and the marbled one is very striking.

    Tracey, they look beautiful. Thank you for sharing your pics with us and do send more.

    That is so pretty. The colours are perfect - is it all done in just various shades of wedgewood blue?

    Hi Sharyl, Your 12 oz cans would be fine. Mine range from 8 oz to 15 ozs and some are 2 inches in diameter and most are almost 3 inches in diameter. Have a go.

    Thanks everyone, that makes the wick pin for pillars much more understandable. It sure would speed up the process as wicking takes so long and sometime I just want to get on with the pouring. Geek, I love your idea with coat hanger wire and a peg - anything to save money. One question, do the wicks ever look loose, and if so, what do you do to fix that without spoiling the finish of the candle?

    I thought I would burn it in a low bowl of water and then as it got down to the marbles, they would fall into the water and it would look effective - THEN we could play marbles again.

    There are always plenty of volunteers to drink from cans, but not Fosters, you haven't enjoyed a good beer until you've tried Coopers Pale Ale or Coopers Dark Ale - yum. Then of course you have the mixers in cans too, so even those who don't like beer can get in on the act of providing me with cans. Guinness cans are the best.

    Hi Top, yes, the cans produce the best finish of any molds I have used. I think it's because they are so smooth inside.
  14. Jojo T.
    None of the above, the only way to crush a can is to do it by hand.

    Thanks Geek, you have made many people smile today with your humour. :bump: :bump: :bump:

    More or less, I just used plain old paraffin wax which I got from a supplier who got it from China, and FO.

    Hi Michelle, That is beautiful - it must have taken ages to put together and pour etc. What a great idea and very creative.
  18. Jojo T.
    No apologies needed Sharyl. I am a beadhound and love checking out bead shops for all sorts of oddities and gems - I just can't resist them. I am definitely not a Fosters girl, Coopers is my choice - it's simply the best - but this can was a Jim Beam and Coke!

    Hi Angie, I punch a hole in the top of the can and wick it before I pour - it can be burnt and it looks rather interesting when it burns because of all the different angles. Cheers

    I lost my marbles many years ago, or maybe I never really found them, anyway, these are my cat's marbles, as he's old and doesn't need them anymore I pinched them. :yes:

    And vice versa - I love those you have shown today, as usual. Next NOT hot day I'm available - I hate the hot hot weather and I usually spend the hot days inside doing candles in the air conditioning.
  22. Jojo T.
    Hi Candle Man, I wear cotton gloves and peel the can off carefully - it's quite easy as the aluminium is very thin.
  23. Jojo T.
    I would love to see a picture of the wick pin in place ready for the wax to be poured. Do we push the wick pin through the wick hole which will be the top of the candle, and then stand the candle on the wick pin base when we pour?

    I have a rather nifty hand held little kitchen gadget which was supposed to be used for zesting my lemons. It also has a fabulous small and not too sharp grating edge which is perfect for scratching my candles (I haven't used it for scratching my lemons once). After scratching I just give the candle a bit of a rub to clean off the loose bits and voila, a scratched candle.

    This threesome is coloured with orchid, and scented with baby powder. It smells clean and fresh. And of course, the usual wire and beads - stars again.
