Another set that need a new name. This is a very strong

floral from TC. I am thinking English Garden. I must be the

only one who prefers color blocks to liquids. I made the

switch, and now I want to switch back, LOL.

For containers, large batches and consistency, I like the liquids.

For Rustics, I miss my blocks! I prefer to shave that tiny bit

of color for the layers. These are much deeper than I wanted.

E, you sure have been making some beautiful rustics lately and these are no exception...I love them! I think English Garden is a perfect name...I wouldn't change it. P.S. I too prefer the color blocks, for the most part, so you're not alone in that respect.

[Candlelovr]

Beautiful E! I also prefer color blocks but Im thinking of purchasing some liquid dyes for marble purposes only. Its a PITA to melt the color chip.

Eugenia- Wow.. This one takes my breath away. Probably my favorite of all that I have seen lately. Gorgeous.

Those are beautiful! Great Job!

[celicagtca]

Beautiful rustic colour combination Eugenia! A++++:highfive:

[wickerbeal]

Those are beautiful! Makes me want to try pillars.

[eugenia]

Thanks all. Funny, those are not my favorites. I love the deep rich fall colors like green, burgundy and gold, but these are not for me, LOL.

[Candybee]

They are beautiful! The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the color scheme was an ocean at sunset. But English Garden is definitely a winner!

[Kaybee23]

Not my favorites of the ones you have made. I am like you and like the deep rich colors as well. But they are very pretty and I am sure the person they are for will love them.

[mnjcandles]

Oh wow, those are beautiful! I'm thinking of trying the color blocks... the liquid is SO messy (or maybe it's just me!), and the dropper tops can get so yucky!

[Donita]

Pretty layers E......and I like the blocks....not that the liquid isn't good...I just seem to make a mess with it. I always knock over a bottle....D

[Aspencreek]

Wow like always they look great. You have some great looking candles.

[AnitaG]

Looking good

[flutterbye]

THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! I absolutly love those colors!!! I really admire all you candles. Keep 'em coming!

[lpoitras]

Gorgeous. I never wanted to try rustics before but now i do. I read the info and have 1 question, what is a mold release? Is that a spray or an oil?

[eugenia]

I don't use any mold release. Just straight paraffin, 3 TBS of stearic per lb. of wax, 1 oz of FO per lb., room temp mold and pour each layer at 150 degrees.

[DatCandleMaker]

Hey E do you like the FO? I still love it and I still smell wood. Granted I smell fresh wood, but wood. I guess the carpenter's daughter in me is showing through

[topofmurrayhill]

Whoa, check out those colors! Rockin.

Maybe you can forget the FO and just make up a name to go with the color motif.

[Darwin]

OMG OMG OMG ... I am really digging those. They are very pretty; they would probably sell like hot cakes around Easter.

[wvcandlecrazy]

You totally impress me with your pillars~great color choices!!! You Rock!!

Beautiful candles! Bet they smell wonderful.

Howabout English Country Garden... the colours remind me of my gran's garden when I was little (I grew up in England, live in Scotland now).

[julwid]

Absolutely love your pillars. I am someday going to try pillars. Very nice.

[Margaritamama]

I love them..... and I'm with you, I much prefer color blocks and chips to the liquids.

[lpoitras]

I don't use any mold release. Just straight paraffin, 3 TBS of stearic per lb. of wax, 1 oz of FO per lb., room temp mold and pour each layer at 150 degrees.

Can you do the same thing using 100% soy or would you need a mold release??
