I've been busy making candles - lots of them


Trappeur

Recommended Posts

The last 2 days I have been busy making candles for myself -  all crystal of jars I have been saving up for a rainy day to do and now I have them done.

Lots of pictures.

 

These are very big diameter candles.   The beige vintage crock is 8" diameter.

The little green votive I tried my hand at rubbing gold mica on it....was ok...need to perfect it.

 

Thanks for looking.   Trappeur

Oh wow @Trappeur, everything is so pretty. I love crystal/cut glass jars like that and I'm really into candle embeds right now. That looks like it was so much fun. I need to get busy again in my candle workshop and get creative. I see you and the cats are already enjoying them. :D

I had forgotten to include these pictures.   See TTayle's Craftserver Christmas ornament there?   That piece is so very personal to me and I have to thankyou again Tall Tayle for the reason you made it.   God help the person who ever picks it up and drops it and breaks...They are in big trouble if that ever happens....which it won't...

 

I got a new embed mold in of Holly Leaves and that is what is on this large crystal jar.

Now in this picture my sister gave me the elk mug years ago which I refilled.   I love as you all know anything nature inspired and have a huge huge fetish for anything in pine cones, t shirts, accessories, of course candles, bedding etc.  Those are red salt and pepper shakers in the picture.    And see my little pine cone houres derves * forek?  spelled wrong",  withe the pine cone handle....lol

I bought the green votives at Family Dollar for a dollar and they were already decorated.   Not bad for $1.00 each.

I filled these jars with Bayberry and Silver Oak (Flaming).   One of my new favorite scents.

I love looking at your crystal jars Trapp! They are beautiful and so inspiring! My favorite is the green bowl, but the tall jar is magnificent as well! 

I love that you are experimenting with mica! And new embeds! It all looks fantastic! ❤️❤️❤️

your candle are just stunning trappeur! ok...i have to ask...what's with that spider in the first pic? Eeek!!!

I blew up the picture of the supposed spider. I think it is just the way the evergreen material attached to the holiday jar is pictured over the underlying doily which appears to be spider legs.😂😂😂🐛   🐜   🐞

Oh...THAT spider...lol...I  I thought you meant the first picture of the second series which very much appears to be a huge spider in the lower left hand corner. I never noticed the spider attached here that you were referring to.😀😀😀😀😀

Hi Jaybee,

My sister sent that Christmas spider ornament a few years back.

Did you ever hear the legend of the spider?

I hate every kind of spider out there but think this is beautiful.

A woman was selling these ornaments at a craft market this Christmas. It was the first time I had ever heard of them. Very cute!
