WaxingPoetic Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) I am merely a hobbyist, so far, and my candles don't compare to the beauties that you all post but I figured, hey, no harm in posting anyway These are my fave few from my last two days. The Palm in the clear jar with lid is in Vanilla Voodoo ( I usually blend my own scents but VV is soooo good, I need it alone at times, lol ) The bluish palm in the clear to pink ombré jar is in Love Spell, it's for my sister in law, her fave scent. The soy is in a blend that I created today that made a to die for strawberries & cream scent ! It already has great cold throw, can't wait to cure & light it !

I didn't use a strawberries & cream oil, I used two oils...60% Daystar's Marshmallow Fluff and 40% WSP Sweet Strawberry and it came out VERY strawberries and cream, like if I sold, I would call that blend Strawberries and Cream, lol The Marshmallow Fluff is spot on, on it's own and in other blends ( sooo good with lemon or blood orange ) but Sweet Strawberry is such a strong scent, that the Marshmallow is just a sweet, creamy background when blended with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 They are really pretty candles and you should be proud of them! The ombre look is really great with the palm wax. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish that I could be more of a help to you on that, but I only have the Marshmallow Fluff and a coconut that has since been discontinued....I will say that both are top notch, though and I really need to order more from them in the near future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy511 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 They are so pretty! Pardon my ignorance, but how did you get the blue/turquoise and the purple in the second candle? Did you just pour the purple, let it cool and then pour the blue/turquoise color? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was all the blue wax The jar was ombre, it was pink on the bottom, clear on top, so it looked layered but it really wasn't. I've only layered soy so far and with soy, I wait til it cools then pour the other layer. Now with palm, I would imagine that I would need to blast the jar with a heat gun before pouring a second layer, at least around the top part of the jar. because I heat my jars prior to pouring palm. I don't get good crystallization otherwise. Edited March 28, 2017 by WaxingPoetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
