  1. many thanks to all.. but how is it that I don't like so much my candles and instead I love all yours??? Do you really think mine are nice? Do you see something wrong, something I coudl do better.. If you would give me some suggestion I'll appreciate it. Kisses!!
  2. Hi, these are my last works... One is a small cilinder made with draped layers, colr are blue and light pink; the other is a bigger cilinder, layers are two different shades of Iris Blue (a REAL wax dye!! it is a powder dye) and white (uncolored wax). Scented patchouli.. What can you tell me about them? Thanks!!
  3. Thank you very much! In fact I was thinking to buy coffee beans, they come in aluminum can, so I thought it could be a nice mold!!!
  4. I have a box.. garage.. how do you call it... where you park the car.. It' very big, it's 7,5 mt x 5 mt. It is directly under the house, there are internal stairs to go there. During winter it's too cold down there but I found the way to heat it.. The only thing that prevent me to do my studio there is a .. biliardo.. I don't know how you say it!!! I'm trying to sell it but nobody wants it!!
  5. thanks!! but form pictures I see it seemed that the insert was laying on the bottom of mold.. when you pour the wax.. or not??
  6. For you all... that "great view" is a small street full of factories.... not so amazing!!!
  7. Hi, hurricane candles are my next attempt.. if I can find something to use as a mold. But there is a thing I don't see clearly: when you use a hurricane mold with insert the hurricane canlde has the bottom or not? Hope you understand what I mean.. the insert is touching the bottom of the mold? bye bye
  8. that is my kitchen.. I have to keep it clean if I can, there are my lovely cats around.. they sometimes steal some wicks.. or byte a piece o wax!!

  10. BELLISSIMA:drool: very beautiful.. but only straight paraffin mottles??? Paraffin + stearin does not mottle?? uhhhh buhhhh I want some mottling!!! Yours is a very very nice candle!!
  11. Thans to all!! Gino is very happy, he's at home with my cats, he knows he's the only candle I have on that shelf that I'll never burn!!!!
  12. Hi Vess, I'm a newbie too.. 'til now I poke reliefe holes when the wak forms a film on the surface.. then I keep them open (I come back several times and reopen them). I'v been told to go til 3/4 of the height of candle. The final repour I heat wax at about 190-200° F.. I nevere notice difference in color. Sorry if I can't tell you more!
  13. Hi all! this is a candle I made just to experiment the technique... here in Italy halloween is not a tradition, but in the last years we started to celebrate it. So I did it just to do something, for now it has no purpose!!! And it is not so beautiful. I named it "Gino Fantasmino", Gino the little ghost!!!!
  14. I'm still laughing!! Could you please explain me exactly what are expression as "ROTFL" and all other you use??? Ahhhh what a good time I have on this board!!
  15. Hi and welcome from Italy! I have not much to teach, I'm here to learn, and I have a great time reading this board then running at home and put everything I can find in a pot. My cats are looking for another house where they can live in peace and have some free space.
  16. I've never named myself "chandler!" How do say,... (write) LOL!
  17. ohhhhhhhhhhh now I see!!!! I thought I should keep that little bastard under water!!! Glad to see I was not the only trying to do something strange!!!! Thanks Donita, the first cracled candle I'll be able to make will be named as you!!
  18. ohhhhhh:shocked2: i can't believe my eyes, gorgeous!!! ehehehehe tonight I know what to do!!!
  19. Oh well now I can say I'm the same level of you!!! But in mistakes not in candlemaking..
  20. Hi.. mine is not a technical question.. perhaps before I make technical question I should be able to make my candle stay in boiling water!!!! I tried this technique with a small cilinder.. but I could not take it under water!!! It kept coming up!!! It floats!!!! Help!! I cannot put my hand in boiling water!!! Give me some smart ideas please!!
