hank7fd Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 A request was sent to me to make a "Pride Candle". This is one that I whipped up, does anyone have any other suggestions to honor this request?thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Not sure what "Pride" means but my first thought was ... red, white & blue...aka Freedom Candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowlite Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Its for gay pride. I get alot of requests for these. I love making the pillars. But when people start asking for votives..I say no way!Forgot to add....Your candle looks very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySC Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Love it...looks great. I've actually seen some candles similar to that around. Very nice! Do you pour the layers at different temps? Or the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubby Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 WOW...love those colours. May I ask how long it took you to finish that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspencreek Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I think it looks great. The colors go well together and you did a great job. I would think the buyers will be very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donita Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Very nice layers....sometimes I do them in tiny layers stacked up over and over and make it a rustic candle...also tilted layers. I have small and huge star molds that look real cool in the rainbow colors....round balls are also good....see...there is no end. What you have now is very nice.....you can do anything you want...there are no limits....it's up to your imagination....I see that you can make a candle...so have fun!

hank7fd Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 thank you for all the comments on this pillar. as for time it took, approx 3.5 hours. i'm not quite impressed with the "pour lines" yet know if i pour too hot then the colours will run into one another. as for the votives...that would be a definate NO way! thanks again!

Daisyd'Light Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 What is the scent?? I love these! How about, "Pride Passion"?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank7fd Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 with my candle, it's a mixture of all fragrances. i actually just melted down bits and pieces (broke apart some pillars) to create this. being it was just a trial thing i wasn't too worried that there were 6 different colours with 6 different scents.when my babe goes to nap today i'm going to try yet another one...this could get addicting! :whoohoo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 This is what I do when I pour layers...After the first layer has set but not pulled away from the mold (I have learned to eyball what is the right time & you will too over time). I then pour the next layer hot just enough to cover the first color (make sure you pour in the middle not around the side). Then when that has set enough I finish that color. Then do the same for the other layers. The hot layer makes the new layer stick and it's not enough to show any bleed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank7fd Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 thanks CandleMan...i suppose patience (which is something i lack) and practice is all it takes. atleast i have 50% of the mixture here! i think i know what you are suggesting...i'll give it a try. my next one will be slanted so i'll have to see how it works.
