Saphakasha Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Below you will see how a smaller votive burns inside of the larger one I was talking about in an earlier thread. Its actually pretty cool.I placed a small, dark red candle inside of a large votive mold, put some embeds on the outside and filled it with cool white wax. I've done this technique a few times and it always burns so nice looking.Below are a few more candles I have done over the last day or so.The blue one I call Ocean... it smells delicious!-T.

Melly Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I like the design on the second one, might want to put the burning one an a plate there though hun, looking at the way that one there is burning, I would be very leary of the inbeded ones with the flowers. it looks as thought you one side wall melted.

Saphakasha Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 Thank ya... The one candle burning actually is on a plate. I noticed the way that it was burning to the side as well but I think it is because it was leaning on the plate... I've burnt some that were level and they burn pretty consistently downward. I think I may be done with embeds for a while though... until I can get some better molds.-T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 How about the idea of doing the outer candle with a high melt point wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatinDucky Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Some interesting looks you got going. Ilike the way you did the rust and green one.I woulde be very leary of imbeds in any candle that small, even with a high MP wax. You mentioned it probably spilled because it wasn't sitting level. I'm sure others homes are more well bulit than mine, but I have a lot of areas that the floor isn't level. I always burn on a plate or something, but the thought of the embeds burning is scary.

Mtngrl Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I like what you did w/ the 1st candle ... it's a good idea but then you have some problems w/ dripping ... er flooding. If it were me, I would use a higher melt point wax, wick down, & use a container wax for the interior. Basically, it would be like making a hurricane shell & then filling it w/ a lower melt-point wax. You'd probably avoid overflow &, as the candle burns down, you'd have some nice interior lighting for your embeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
