nayarx8 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Ive been messing around with this "streaking" technique for months; finally think I got the method down! Just not too sure what I think of the look. The one on the left is scented "Angel", and the one on the right is scented "Jamaica Me Crazy". So, honest opinions, does it look stupid?

ladysj Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I think they look wonderful. Always nice to see things different from the everday candles. I'm sure they will sell very well.How did you get the streaks? Did you do it like the do the pillars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nayarx8 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thanks everybody! I dont know how pillars are done like that; Ive never seen any. This was done with dye blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I like them a lot, great job, I think I'll have a try when I get some jars in.I've done simliar with p.w pillars, cones & star moulds with varying degrees of success but I haven't dyed any of my soy yet.Nice jars too.Sally.

alhughes Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 awesome! now spill it how'd you do it? i like them alot, cool colors & scents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayarx8 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 I added FO at 150 degrees; poured at 125. Shaved off slivers off my dye blocks and then swirled them with a chopstick. Let them melt for about 5 to 10 minutes (too long and they would melt into a solid color candle). Then, stuck them in the fridge for 30 minutes, and then let them cool at room temp the rest of the way. Pretty simple, once I figured out not to let them cool on their own (w/o the fridge). After my test burn, spending time in the fridge didnt seem to affect the burn or scent throw. Im going to try some more soon! I recommend not using more than 3 different colors as it could result in an ugly-looking mess of a candle! HTH, Linaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzie Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 They both look really interesting, and I mean that in a nice way - If I saw them in a shop I'd just have to pick them up for a closer look. Congratulations on getting the technique down so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
