wookie130 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I think they're exquisite, but heck, I'm no expert on pillars. I'd buy 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberlei Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Those are lovely! What scent are they? I've yet to start any holiday candles, but am planning to tonight. Can hardly wait to get started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soprey Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thank-You for all your nice replys. I am currently making more of the same for my craft show for november. I made another batch of them today and they are more clean cut around the layers, and had more bubbles than a mottle affect so i must have poured them at a higher temp.The scents i used for the top, some are sun rippened rasberry or cinnanan/cedar. The middle is carmel apple or butter cream frosting and the bottom is sandle wood or butter cream frosting. I'm ordering some more christmas scents for the candles!

Henryk Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Would you mind sharing what wax you used - and maybe your pour temp on the first set? If I'm not being too forward. I LOVE your mottling you got there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soprey Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thank -You all for the very nice compliments.The wax i used is from http://candlesandsupplies.com called 141 mp wax votive/pillar paraffin.Mottle's nicely w/out additives, but i put 3tbls of sterine in it anyway. The pour temp i used on the first batch was around 180-190. More 190. The second batch the temp was 200. I think i'll make a third batch today and see how they come out and write it down this time in my candle log.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
