Sheryl Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I've been making regular pillars for a long time so it took me a while to get started with the new ideas. But once I finally began was just too much fun to stop! There are so many people to thank for their inspiration and generosity where their candle creations are concerned. A special thank you to Scented and Donita!Sheryl NorCal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Thanks tlc! I used 1343 at Donita's suggestion and it really does a nice job. Of course you may have to coax some of it off where it's in a thin layer over a shape but it's really not a big deal to do. I'm having so much fun Donita! Once I got the bugs worked out it was a matter of order more wax or move on to another experiment...now watch...I'll run out of everything at the same time! I swear in 30 years candlemaking has never been such a blast!Sheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtngrl Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Very nice. Particularly like the star & moon chunkies. Indeed, how did you manage such a translucent overpour? You've got the 1343 eating out of your hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzie Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Those are such fun projects - love 'em all, especially the citrus and the moon and stars. What fo (if any) did you use with the citrus? I'm having trouble finding a straight orange that doesn't smell like fuel when burning. Any suggestions? Mozzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 What beatuiful creations. And what a precious little girl. Love them all but the moon and stars is my favorite. Fantastic placement with your chunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin'Hot Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Ok, I HAVE to ask...how do you get the little shapes in the outside? Do you use a cookie cutter or something like it? Those are all fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausimex Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Very nice! I really love that star & moon pillar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Wow, thanks everyone for the kind words! Now, for the questions...tlc, mtngirl and Lori...I don't use any scent in my overpour but then, I was having allergies like crazy so I stopped scenting my candles. That is until this week when I got brave and used some scent. But, unless the scent was almost colorless I don't know if I'd use it in the overpour anyway. Chunk placement is also a big factor in the results. And, yes, I did use little cookie cutters for those shapes.Thanks Sharyl...that's our grandaughter in the cane. You know Mozzie, I didn't scent the citrus layer and, like you, was wracking my brain trying to figure out what I would offer in the way of a citrus scent. I know that many of those fragrances can smell like fuel. I did do a little research though and found out that Genwax has a pretty popular oil called Juicy Bits of Orange. I guess I should try it next time!Sheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo T. Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hi Sheryl, I love all of your candles and especially the stars and moons chunky - wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
