Margaritamama Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I made these candles yesterday. The coconut is made with 1274, and even though it's a white candle, you can see the mottling. I'm very happy with how it turned out, and I love the smell!!The blackberry sage is made with 4625, and I used a wine colored dye - to get the whole blackberry effect - and tried to get the rustic look. The votives tended to have some jump lines, but to be honest, I rather like the look. The pillar turned out rustic, with a few jump lines, but again I think it adds to the effect. Like I've said before, I make my candles for personal use, so as long as I like the look, and feel it fits with my environment, I'm happy!

Pam W Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 You did a great job. Bet you had a smile from ear to ear when you pulled those rustics out of their molds:DI love jump lines too. I made a 3 layer/tilted with jump lines just in the middle layer and it looked terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolas Lights Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Wow I love them. I love that color for blackberry. I think the jump lines add to it not take away. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Nice colors I can't see the mottling, but trust that it's there. My screen probably needs some dusting lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EMercier Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I like those, especially with the asian decor in the backround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Man, I'm happy to see your pix. They look great to me (little Canadian boy) I just received a case of 4625 today, hoping to get some great results for rustics. I've been studying every word on here about them and Trish has given me some advice so I'm good to go in the next couple of days. If one turns out I'll post it for sure.

Margaritamama Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Tucker,In my experience it's all trial and error. And I think most of the pros on this forum will agree that it's all about testing to see what works best. I enjoy the process, as well as the end result. I don't think it would be as enjoying if every candle I made came out just perfect!I wish you well in your endeavours. I hope your candles will be everything you wish them to be.....

Donita Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 If you like them, then you have definately done it right. Wellllllll I like them too. And whoever said jump rings were bad....in the old days, rustic candles were considered to be failures until they became "cool".....Love you display too.
