Jojo T. Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 This is coloured sand, mottled and fragranced apple blossom, with a couple of black balls and black string. Done in an uncrushed drink can this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topofmurrayhill Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Nice. The can mold seems to contribute a good texture to the surface, if the photo isn't deceiving me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Love the mottling. Question - who drinks all that beer so you can have the empties for your molds. Gotta have a good supply since they are 1 time molds. Must be Fosters cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Love the color and the candle and love your ideas...what more can I say? Good job. DonitaPS....someone told me that in Australia Foster's is called Kawola P---. I rather like it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because they are so smooth inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta have a good supply since they are 1 time molds. Must be Fosters cans. There are always plenty of volunteers to drink from cans, but not Fosters, you haven't enjoyed a good beer until you've tried Coopers Pale Ale or Coopers Dark Ale - yum. Then of course you have the mixers in cans too, so even those who don't like beer can get in on the act of providing me with cans. Guinness cans are the best.

sharyl55 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I may have to take up beer drinking so I can try these. DH drinks sodas in the 12 oz cans. Your pillars look much bigger than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo T. Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi Sharyl, Your 12 oz cans would be fine. Mine range from 8 oz to 15 ozs and some are 2 inches in diameter and most are almost 3 inches in diameter. Have a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
