Everito Bandito Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 That's pretty cool - I take it that you carved the dragon and lettering yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxing moon Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 I sure did..actually I found a picture I likes and traced it on to the candle then took a toothpick and carved it our a little. I adjusted curves and details to make it my own I am still kind of playing with how deep to make the carving but this seems to work well. The soy can be fickle (as we all know) I would love to get a glow effect but if I make the carving too thin the darn thing leaks...grr..but I ma having fun I havent found much out there like this so I am excited -Waxing moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerinarkansas Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I knew a lady that used a woodburning tool to outline on her candles. They were very unique. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waxing moon Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hi This is ecosoya pillar blend. It is very easy to work with, I love it ! I started with Cargill naturewax pillar blend and we just dont get along. It cracks on me no matter what I try. I tried a woodburning tool I kinda liked it. It would be cool if you were making a pattern that needed to look drippy. I start getting neurotic about wiping the darn thing and it made it look worse.. -Waxingmoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
