cybersix Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 basically are draped layers, but I let the yellow/orange too thin.They were running down til the bottom but when I poured the black wax they melted.I will never do black wax again, it's a waste of color, and colors as fos are precious treasures for me!thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzie Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Sabrina, I think that you're on to something here. It may not be the look you were going for but its certainly interesting (in a nice way). Keep on trying out new ideas - I love seeing your pics.

Donita Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Sabrina you just won't believe this. Last night my grandson, Van, asked if he could make a pyramid candle today. He is 6. I said he could. He wanted to do it in black and red striped all tilted different angles. Now when he sees yours I'll bet he copies you......that is one cool volcano candle if I ever saw one. Cool....cool cool cool cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms_Magnolia Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Wow!!!!!! I like that one. The colors are so striking against one another. I can't wait until I try to use my molds and different colors together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaritamama Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 thanks girls!obviously I don't know a thing about steelers.. I suppose they're a team.. of what?LOL Sorry Sabrina.... Yes, the Steelers are a football team, and they're one of the teams playing in the Superbowl on Sunday. The Superbowl is the "finals" - if you will - of the football season, and the two top teams play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekrunner Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 It still looks nice although it did not turn out as expected. I have that happen too. Good job!geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 That's pretty cool, but of course it melted if you used a tin mold Heat has a tendency to do those things. Wish it didn't but it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRC06301983 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 It would be really cool to do something like this, but make the candle all orange and yellow marble and do an ENTIRE overdip of black but overwick it so that it melts and runs down the sides on purpose...once it melts through the thin black overdip at the top it will run orange and yellow all down the sides of the black candle and it you really could call it "the volcano candle."Hey if Donita can cater to sexy candles, I'm sure one of us can cater to 5 year olds. Hey! they need candles too! This candle is really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey! they need candles too!That sounds fun. It would be much easier to do using a lower MP wax and underwicking it. A big wick helps prevent guttering by sucking up the wax.

Jojo T. Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 This is one really cool candle and I'm going to have a go at trying to get one of mine to look like that. I love it. Truly. :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Great looking volcano. Sometimes with draped layers it helps to pour a thin layer of the final color - black in your case - over the draped layers and let it set up before filling the mold with the balance of the wax. That way only the black wax melts. Sort of protects your colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 That turned out good! Not a waste of color at all, I like the black in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Ducky I have to import colors too!!!!that's why I call it a waste, if I make black pillars I have to sell them at a ver high price.I used almost 1/4 of a dye block.

cybersix Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Thanks Sharyl I did so, then I let it apart for one day.The next day I poured all the black wax.But a bit melted, maybe I should pour a little cooler.Thanks!Great looking volcano.
