sharyl55 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Dana, glad you figured out to post pictures. You made some fantastic looking candles. Think the Christmas one is my favorite but the cinnabuns sure made me hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanaE Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 Those are SO pretty. How do you get those effects? So pretty.I used a mottling wax with all of these except the cinnamon buns and pumpkins. With it you can make some cool rustic looking pillars by pouring the wax when it's very cool (I pour at 150 into room temp molds). To make them mottle I pour at 180-190 into hot molds. (one word of advice, if you're doing rustics, spray the inside of your mold with some type of release agent, I still have an orange and yellow candle stuck in the mold because I forgot!)I make the layers by tiling my molds in different directions. My husband actually made a contraption for me that holds 6 molds at a time and I can lay them almost all the way down in it without spilling. Thanks for the words of praise guys . I love to make funky looking candles! Now it's time for the apple pies and grubbied coconut cream pie and then I can rest for a while!DanaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtngrl Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Those look great. Really like the pecans. LOVE that banana cream pie. If it was sitting on my kitchen counter, I'd be getting a spoon out of the drawer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
