topofmurrayhill Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I had some partially-burned mottles lying around that I made as FO testers. Rather than let them go to waste I decided to melt them down and make some new candles, maybe as giveaways for friends or whatever.There are 3 photos that I'll put in separate posts so you don't have to click links to see them.

topofmurrayhill Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Here I just added Vybar and made layers. The green one is sweetgrass, the white & blue 3-layer is clean cotton, and the brownish one is madagascar vanilla. The vanilla colors didn't really work out but I like the other two a lot.

topofmurrayhill Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 This cutie is a simple rustic, scented clover. I guess the colors could be better but I like it. I don't do cold pours very often but I think I'll do it for the next set of retreads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 This is a bonus mottle, not actually recycled. It's the same clean scent as the white and blue layer. Mottles seem prone to randomly get pinholes at the top, depending on the condition of the mold. I've been experimenting with ways to ensure perfect results every time and I think I've got it.
