sharyl55 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Figured I should make up some pillars in case we lose power when Ernesto blows thru. Used some 1343A I had and scented Stormwatch. Seemed appropriate. These are just the 2nd batch of pillars for me. Screwed the colors up but hey I got them out of the mold. Now to see if I guessed right on the wicks. I want to thank whoever put out the tip of leveling pillars in the mold. That is one slick idea. Even I couldn't screw it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 OOOH! I dont' think you screwed up the colors. I think they look great. and only your second batch? I'm impressed. Hope Ernesto fizzles and your candles burn well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k&g Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Great looking candles - sorry about Ernesto - although was glad he didn't come our way - couldn't handle another one! Best of luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I don't think you screwed the colors up either. I really like the combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luci Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Those look great! I used my time pouring some testers with sugar cookie and strawberry parfait. I also made some milk bath.Ernesto gained strength after leaving FL and passed right over me through the bay. Luckily, the tide wasn't high, and the winds weren't all that bad. Let's hope they're all that tame! Still 3 mos. of this crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judyvega Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Those are really pretty, Sharyl - hope you don't have to use them due to Ernesto, but good job on making them! I'm sure someone will put those in their notebook of things to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I really doubt that anyone would know they are your second batch if you hadn't told us! You are rockin' with this look! On my computer the colors look just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everito Bandito Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Very nice candles - well done on the rustic and the colors - might want to hold onto them until sometime in october though. You may still get the chance to use them as originaly intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Thanks for the kind comments. I didn't want to bottom layer to be such a dark plum color. Even though we didn't lose power I did a test burn on them. Round one did OK, sq. and star slightly over-wicked on the 1st test burn. Will see what happens on the 2nd burn. We didn't lose power but did end up with over 12" of rain. Lots of wind. But no flooding for us. Others weren't so lucky. Since I'm burning these guess I'll have to make another set for my hurricane kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
