sharyl55 Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 LOL I don't drink coffee either. I do go to a coffee shop with my neighbor and she gets the iced mocha. I used that for my model. They drizzle melted chocolate in top the whipped cream. I made another one today with straight J223, 1 1/2 oz FO (9%) and tried to duplicated the drizzled chocolate with limited success. Will try burning it tomorrow to see if I get a better hot throw.PS Looked for the clear mugs at Dollar Tree and Dollar General with no luck. Anyone have any ideas? Best I've found on an Internet search is still $2. The ones I'm using for testing are Anchor Hocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Girl Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 That has to be the most realistic cup of coffee I've seen yet! I'm foaming at the beak just looking at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsvlbrat Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Sharyl - that looks pretty darn real! Truly makes me want to head to Starbucks!I, for one, appreciate the way you let us know how you make these candles!Great job, thanks!:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 That looks AWESOME!! That's so surprising that the hot throw isn't good its such a strong FO. I can't help ya as I use their soy wax and cotton wicks .You could try Walmart in their single plate, bowl, and cup aisle in the Kitchen Area, I've seen them there (at least at our Walmart for under $1) HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Thanks Maryann. I found this clear mug at WalMart but it was $2.49. They had white and black mugs for $0.50. Couldn't find any at our Big Lots but ours doesn't seem to carry a lot of the stuff others find there. Thanks Rsvlbrat. What little I know about candle making came from this board. I try to share when I finally figure something out. Know it is old hat for the experts but may help another newbie like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
