creativegems Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 but I gave it a shot. They were fun to make and I did use sockets and bulbs. I need lots more practice.Janethttp://pic3.picturetrail.com/VOL22/556826/1336193/131672157.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 They look pretty good. You should have turned on on since they are electrified, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creativegems Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Thank you everyone. I can't get a good pic with them turned on. They look yellow instead of green.Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hi Janet....I finished some yesterday but was way too tired and hungry to take a pic....I will go and do that. Between you and me we are going to get this all figured out. I bought some more bulbs and my grandson Van is going to make a 4" one......I told him that he can actually "light" his candle now. Thanks for telling me how to do it. It sounds to strange to anyone who doesn't know what it is, but "I love my holer"..... thanks!!!!.This electric candle thing is a lot of fun. The ones that you took lit were good. You should post those too. Hmmmmmm flowers look so familiar...lol....Donita;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtngrl Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Thank you everyone. I can't get a good pic with them turned on. They look yellow instead of green.Janet Yellow may be caused by using regaular light bulbs, which are made with tungsten. Perhaps you've heard of a type made by GE, I think, that is "white" light. They probably cost more than regular light bulbs, but for photographic purposes would be well worth the expense. Just a thought ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lin Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Very beautiful janet, you did a wonderful job. I think i like the white background though as the colors take away the elegance of the flowers to me. Great job. Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativegems Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 You could be right Lin. I'll have to try the white and maybe I can get better lit photos too.Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 This is way too funny. Now you are going to try white and last night I told Ed that I think I should buy some more CLEAN stock pots and make balloon candles in pale pink, lavender, blue, green and gold....I personally like flowers on white candle of any kind, but the customers like them all and the bottom line is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$....we will just have to keep experimenting and see what works. I was out shopping yesterday and everywhere I went there were electric candles. Glass ones at Plow and Hearth....lots of jars, flicker battery tea lights....people are more conscious of the dangers of FLAMES.....I know that even when I am being careful.....I forget that I am testing a candle ......like right now at this very moment I remembered that I have one over in the house on the mantel...........bye bye...am running over there to blow it out right NOW!!!!!!!!! :tiptoe: Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Your sooooooooooo right Donita, most things i dont like customers do and im with you on going the money route,lol. Their all beautiful, i just think lighter colors dont take the detail away from your flower art. I think lighter pastel colors would look great. Janet your green one is beautiful, i didnt mean to take that away but id love to see one in a pastel type green. You two are making wonderful canes. Keep those lovely pictures coming.
