eugenia Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Another set that need a new name. This is a very strong floral from TC. I am thinking English Garden. I must be theonly 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 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 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickerbeal Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Those are beautiful! Makes me want to try pillars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnjcandles Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpoitras Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatCandleMaker Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 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 Dat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Whoa, check out those colors! Rockin.Maybe you can forget the FO and just make up a name to go with the color motif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 OMG OMG OMG ... I am really digging those. They are very pretty; they would probably sell like hot cakes around Easter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpoitras Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 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??
