CathyinME Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Don't know anything about rustics, but they look very nice to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Yup!! Very nicely done on the left. I have such trials getting the white. The right looks slightly grubby to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Ignore the second picture she was trying something that need a little pratice on her part. She will get it I know. She is going to be good at rustics I do believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Were you trying to get her to grubby by dribbling Vicky? Yep I think she's got a very bright future in rustics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJohnson Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 I love the Spiced Cranberry it was a big hit for me last fall and winter in my container candles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 No Scented I was not I was just trying to get her to gently use a heat gun to soften up that frosting a bit I do it all the time and don't get the dribbly. It just takes practice and being very quick with a paper towel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandleFreak Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 so why would you heat gun it? i thought the purpose of rustics was to have all the white on it? and most people were upset to not get it - and your trying to remove it? i don't get that?i think the candle on the left is perfect for a rustic - i wouldn't change a thing!!!!

Vicky_CO Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Actually you all have narrowed what a rustic should be down to a very small look when the only thing a rustic should be is a ruff looking pillar. The whole idea behind a rustic is a pillar that is not that smooth or glossy finish.Now my perfect idea of a rustic is to have a little more color show through. But all I am doing with Kris is give her some techniques as she is just starting out making pillars. She can use them or not use them but I just want her to know them if case she does need them.
