MrDan Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 It's been a while since I've posted anything, so here's what I'm getting up to: beeswax! As of right now I'm playing with different brands as I can't find reliable source near me at this time, and I'm also using simple silicone molds I'm getting off Amazon and such. I think I've got most of it down, so next I'm starting to work on designing my own molds. I've got the clay, I'm starting to sculpt, and hopefully I'll come up with something! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopie Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Love them both, Mr. Dan! Was the dragon a silicone mold? Can't wait to see your first handmade mold creations! I can only imagine what you'll come up with... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramr Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I would never light a candle like that. Too pretty! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ones a little difficult to unmold, on account of the shape. I'd slit the side, but that seems like it would be overkill. Just slow and steady and it works it's way out. 6 hours ago, Ramr said: I would never light a candle like that. Too pretty! But if they light the pretty candles, they come back for more! The dragon is a little dark when he burns (his snout/muzzle get sheared off), but the rose turn into something gorgeous! Someday I'll take a picture of that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is test burn before I got the wicking right so there's a little bit of crap floating in the burn pool. Looks great burning though, doesn't it? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdcharm Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 It looks great, I had a feeling it was going to light up like a rose globe! Is it a scented candle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a scented candle? Just the natural scent of beeswax. These candles are so small (1.5 and 2.5 oz) it would be way too much of a pain to add fragrance. Plus, I don't like to add fragrance to beeswax if I can help it. It just seems wrong, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The burn of the rose globe is intriguing. The dragons ... now those you should be able to find a way to make colorful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
