ComfortandJoy Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Hi! I'm Lisa, and I'm new to candle making. I'm glad to have found a place to learn about this daunting craft. Yikes! I'm remembering why it took me so long to jump into it! I've been making soaps and b&b products since 2009. And, can I say that my heart goes out to all of you who are now dealing with the fallout from the soy wax changes. Oh. My. Goodness! I can't imagine the frustration and stress! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Hi Lisa! Welcome to Craft Server! Glad to have you with us. Watch out, candlemaking is as addictive as soap making. Good news is you may have some scents you can use with candles too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComfortandJoy Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hi Candybee! Thanks for the welcome! Oh, yes! I'm definitely addicted and determined to make a good candle! I use eo's only in my soaps, etc so I'm having a blast playing with fo's- especially the holiday ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hi Lisa! Your coconut wax trials inspired me to try a couple. Loving the HT and ease so far. I know you jumped in with both feet , and will do very well. Your soap and B&B experience will get you to a perfect candle pretty quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponiebr Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 YAY! A 'nuther'n!!! erm... I mean Hi! Welcome to the server of craft! This place is GREAT! I've fought the candle addiction and so far... (knock on wood) I've been able to stick to soaps... well, kinda mostly sorta, there was that ONE time I did the smashed-popsicle-stick-wood-wicks-thing-a-mah-hick-doey... But yeah, SOAP! I'm a bubble head. What is this coconut wax? (I probably SHOULDN'T have asked that... Fire+me= it could get "interesting") Slainte!
