queen_for_a_day Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Ok well it is official, I have created my first candle! Thanks to a kit I picked up from Hobby Lobby!(Double Boiler Set-Up)Votive Mold (Put it in one of those buffet dishes for easy cleanup)Putting in the wick (No Color or Scent for this one!)Added Color to this one!Pouring the purple wax into mold #2Chill Out! Gotta wait....Ok as you can see there are no finale pics, mainly because I am not satisfied witht eh outcome. As they cooled they looked very I dont know, not like I wanted... I looked at the label on the boiler and it said "Palm Wax" is that supposed to come out looking marbled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the label on the boiler and it said "Palm Wax" is that supposed to come out looking marbled?Yes. There are several different types of palm wax like feathering and granite. The granite looks like marble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queen_for_a_day Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 OK well since I really wasnt all that satisfied with those candles I went and spent the day experimenting! This is the result!I spent the whole day experimenting, And experimentation yeilds shocking results! (Atleast to me, since I just started doing this yesterday)Here is what I am calling "Grandma's Country Home" it consits of a balanced mixture of Spiced Apple, Vanilla, and Cinnamon fragrances. The bottom is a deep orange (kind of like a pumpkin) and the top is a dark chocolate brown with a heart set inside. Please tell me what you think!Sorry for the poor quality images (Using a cheap webcam) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
