ladysj Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Here is my chunk that I made scented Tapestry. I used burgundy, yellow, brown and orange chunks. I wish they would show through better. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 That candle looks good. I have never smelled that FO...what does it smell like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 It smells much better in wax than OOB. It's really hard to describe. I got it from Aroma Haven but it smells wonderful in wax. Like a mixture of berries in a way. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aspencreek Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 It looks good. You could always crackle it to try and get more of the color showing!!! Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus_Nana Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I really like that and due to the fact we have decorated our house in Southwestern that would go. I would just need to make it unscented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homespun5 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 A wonderful candle. I love chunkies. Even tho the chunks did not show as much as you wanted, it makes a statement.:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thank you everyone I know there has to be a way to make them show up better. I'll just have to keep playing with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Less stearic will make them show better...I think it looks great the way it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfitz5051 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Looks great! I read about taking a butane(maybe) torch to the outside of them and was going to try with my heat gun, but never did lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzie Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 While I think that your chunks look great I understand the frustration of too opaque an overpour. Did you add anything to your overpour wax? Both vybar and stearic will make the wax more opaque so try straight paraffin for a more translucent look. You may also want to pack your chunks in more tightly so that there is less room for your overpour - that will help as well. Nice job anyway.
