Mozzie Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 is the name I've given this one. It has a different Chinese character painted on each side, one for luck, another for prosperity, happiness, and longevity. Scented Asian Sandalwood (how original is that- not?).

Mozzie Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 here's another view. Just also wanted to acknowledge candlesprite7 (Kim) for telling me about using a stylus to emboss designs on candles before painting them - thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 You already know what i think about this candle, but I will tell you once again: it's amazing!I love the name, the color, the writings.. don't know the scent but I bet is wonderful!So classy!

Donita Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Oh Mozzie....you and I are sisters.....I make candles that look just like that. I am not surprised at all. Very cool. I have done them in dark blue, hunter and red. The red is the favorite. I love yours. I wasn't using the stylus, but the next ones I will. I was trying to stamp them on with ink and then paint. I could hardly see the ink...the stylus is the way to go. I use the stylus to put on the shape of my birds and butterflies too. Isn't this fun????????

cybersix Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 You really need a firm hand to do something so beautiful.If I should try I know my candle would say "Unluck" in one side, "You're ugly" in another", "who knows this damned mandarin" in another and the last would say "pspspsppphhdhshfsshhsdhsfhsd".

Mozzie Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 You girls are just too funny. Thanks for being such a great cheer squad. I really chuckle when reading your posts. Sabrina, my hand is far from steady (although the stylus indents really help) so I dread to think what I'm really writing. I just trust that no-one who speaks / reads Mandarin will see it. After all, it's all in the intent, isn't it? Pleeeeze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donita Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Mozzie.....I am so lucky that my friend Kate on my flower board is Chinese....I have run things by her first and wait for her approval....So far so good. I always wonder too. It would be so easy to make a little mark that changed your intent. Maybe that's how wars are started....(smile).....hugs and kisses, Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 ....if you would share what kind of paint you use? I've seen similar ones, but they didn't look quite so good!Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzie Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 ....if you would share what kind of paint you use? I've seen similar ones, but they didn't look quite so good!PamSure thing, Pam. It's made by Chroma Inc. and is called Chromacryl, Students' acrylic Gold or Gold Dorado (it say's both "Gold" and "Or Gold Dorado" on the tube). I found mine in a craft shop so I expect that it's readily available in America. Good luck, it's a lovely gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Mozzie, that is one awesome candle. Love your painting talents. Love the FO. Perfect for your Blessing's candle. Since I'm the curious type, which is it - kick ass or ass kicker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
