Trappeur Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I thought I would share pictures of new things I've made in the past couple of days. I just fell in love with this triple cluster pottery piece at the shop I make my wine candles for. I thought it would be so neat to do a candle in. She actually loved the idea and gave me one for the shop to pour in for her. Each section has a different size wick (a 10, 7, and a cd6) and it's pretty big too. I did this in WSP VBN that I just got in to test. Can't wait for this thing to get cured. This is a new piece of crystal I got off of Ebay More pieces off of Ebay I finally made this heart embed...It is made in a silicone mold. Pain in the neck to get out of the mold as the leaves are so delicate, but I did it. I just got a silicone mold with owls which I thought were cutie patootie! And I think this is my favorite leaf mold (a candy mold). All my tins get embeds. I make the 8oz and 16oz tins. Snuck in a picture of my ever faithful "Munchkin". She sits for hours at the counter watching me make candles. Test burning my large crystal...and the wicks were perfect. The beautiful little crystal jar with silver lid was a beautiful precious gift I just got from Moonstar 2 weeks ago when she sent me some oil samples. THANKYOU AGAIN MOONSTAR! I used a cd6 and did in my own blend called Lemincello. It's almost time for me to burn and test...Love it! Me and my faithful companion "Timmy". He is an Arabian. He is very very old....32 years to be exact. He's been struggling for the past couple of years with losing so much weight as he has no teeth so I have to make up special food for him of Senior grain, beet pulp with molasses, rice bran, and alfalfa cubes. I mix all this together and fill the bucket to cover all this feed with water as it turns into a mash. And then he gobbles it down. Comes out to 8pounds of feeding x 3 times a day....He eats better than me, but he is my baby as I have had him his entire life but the first 5 years. He used to be a parade horse. We have gone so many places together, on camping trips, riding in the hills and woods and when I am working outside in my flower gardens, I let him out of his enclosed pasture and he just follows me around like a dog. Last year Moonshine sent me 2 beautiful horse blankets to help me out with him and my other 2 horses. They were just perfect! THANKYOU AGAIN MOONSHINE!!! I love this ball canning jar. Takes a cd14...perfect size...I just hat this label on it! Haven't figure out quite yet how to label it... Had over a hundred candles to do this week. Another candy mold of leaves. I just love this one..... My family....lol Can you tell I love all kinds of animals? Now this is an old crock 7" wide. I did this in hot apple pie (for me!)... I did a terrible job on the leaf embeds. Some were thicker than the other....and due to it being chilly in the house, the top got some hair line cracks but no problem cause this was for me too. Took 3 cd 7 wicks. Last picture is me and Munchkin....it was so beautiful this weekend and the weather was nice cool so I got some much needed time to be with all my animals here in the mountains. Thanks for letting me share with everyone...... Trappeur 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Your posts just make my day ! You are so generous with your knowledge about candles. I for one am very thankful for that. Your candles are so beautiful and I just love the hand crafted pottery candles - just gorgeous ? Your life in the mountains & acreage seems so far removed from my life in the city, it makes me yearn for solitude at times - getting old I guess lol ! Your animals ??? your very welcome on the jar . Let's just say you did it more justice than I would have ?? thanks agsin ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazeKelly Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Beautiful!!! All of them!!! You're candles are so beautiful!!! I thought of you when I was at Goodwill the other day and they had some of these Crystal jars with lids. I should have bought them for you!! They look a lot like the ones you are using. I may go back and get them when I get back in town next week. Love the ceramic containers too! Gorgeous!! Kelly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldieMN Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Oh my goodness, what a treat. Thanks so much for sharing your photos of your beautiful candles as well as your family.

GoldieMN Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Mercier Orchards label on Ball jar. . .would it work to put it on the top of the jar? Goldie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Soooo precious!!! Timmy looks wonderful and that is an amazing picture of you two- I am so glad the blankets worked for you ? your candles are gorgeous as always- the blue ball jar....how about the label round on the lid so it doesn't take away from the jar itself Munchkin melts my heart- there is hardly anything more precious in the world than our babies....fur and non fur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 ....something is very weird. I just was going to reply to the posts that people put up here but everyone's replies have disappeared????? I know I saw replies from Moonstar, Moonshine, Krazekelly and I think Goldie had one and someone else did. All I see is a picture and reply from Missy. Love your picture Missy and your cow. Thankyou! Does anyone not see all the posts/replies from others here or is it just me? Actually I am having quite a bit of trouble with coming to Craftserver this past 2 weeks. I think I will go and put up a new thread on this problem. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLG Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 When I posted, all I saw was your original post. There were no other posts that I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 That is just so weird as like I said if I go to someones profile who has posted on that thread and click on the post in their profile, my whole thread comes right up and I can see everyone else who has posted. Like I said, Moonstar, Moonshine, Kraze Kelly and I think Puma posted on it too....so weird. Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I just wanted to see something for myself. I went to Moonstars profile (where anyone can go to anyones profile) and saw the posts made in her profile and clicked on the post I put up of the pictures...and yep, the whole topic came up and I am looking right now where everyone else posted to it. What does this all mean? Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
