Tucker, you need to treat yourself with more respect, these candles are beautiful and the hurricane looks great to me. I love your idea for the pillars. I'll have to do an internet search to see what Krylar is made of to see if I can get it here. Well done.

Can I increase the melting point of my 143.6 degrees wax by adding anything to it like microcrystalline wax or beeswax so I can use it for a hurricane?

I also like your balls i think the colours are great and the FOs sound perfect. I love playing with balls and have found that the aluminium seamless mold i have works very well leaving no seams at all - it cost a bit but it's definitely worth it.

That is very cute and a good hurricane.

Sometimes mottled candles look just like marble as well. Mottled candles are a lot easier to do, less mess and quicker. Marbled candles take more input from you as what you do can change the look of your finished candle quite dramatically, whereas mottled candles are a wax FO process independent of you.

Those are very pretty. The beginning of many happy hours no doubt!

They're both good - I like them. The balloon candle looks fabulous and I love the carving - I think mine would fall apart if I did that, but one day I'll have a go.

Those are all beautiful, everything about them. I wish I could get that rustic look like you have. Excellent!

Your chunkies are great and the colours are good too.

Sabrina that is beautiful, I love it. Well done.

That looks great. Is it really marbled or mottled?

You're all right of course, they were mottled, not marbled - I don't know what I was thinking when I gave them that title, I'll blame it on the heat here.

Very pretty. I can just picture lying in the grass on a warm spring afternoon looking at a blue sky like that. Ohh, how I wish winter was over!

It was 37 degrees Celsius here yesterday which is very hot melting skin heat. They are 9" and 6" tall, 2" diameter.

Those are gorgeous! What's the scent?

I loves marbles, and I wish I could make them, but liquid dye is expensive, and I know I'd just screw it up anyway, so no marbles for me.

These are only mottled. They weren't hard to do and I use dye chips - they are very hard to screw up so do have a go - if they don't turn out you can always remelt and try again. You're going to laugh when you hear that the scent I used is Storm Watch - they don't look very stormy, but I just love that FO.

Jo, impressive marble and candle. What on earth did you use for a mould?

It does look rather tall in the photo - it's just another one in my 2" x 9" seamless aluminium mold. And once again, I named it incorrectly, it's actually a mottled candle. It did look like marble though, which is probably what got me into the swing of calling them the wrong thing.

Another beauty JoJo, very impressive.. but what mold did you use?

Hi Sabrina, the mold was a 2" diameter x 9" tall seamless aluminium.

Mighty fine looking candle, only one problem I couldn't get the top and the bottom on my screen at one time. Oh well, guess I need a larger monitor.

Go for it Tucker, a Christmas present to yourself maybe?

That looks cool - love the coloring and pattern and accessories. Is that a Vybar 343 ripple on the front?

No Top, I just used straight paraffin wax and FO.

These two were my last for the day. - Sorry I should have named them MOTTLED pair.

My second marbled - it looks much better in real life - this ozzie sun is providing too much glare for a good look, i'll have to work on my camera skills.

I've finally had a go at mottled candles - this is my first.

If that's your first "not so bad" hurricane, the mind boggles at what your later canes will be like. That's beautiful, I love it.

That looks so good Mozzie - I bet we'll all be trying them now. Merry Christmas.

You are a truly wonderful artist, I love looking at your work, and this is just another of the many beautiful candles you do. How inspiring! Thank you for sharing with us.

I love the red, pink and white - they are beautiful.

Top, those are so smooth. The colours are great too. Love 'em.
