silverm00n Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I've been playing with the marble effect. I think they came out pretty cool. ~TFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersix Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Sure those are cool!The color is very strong, it looks more like a tie dye, but since I'm not expert don't take it into consideration lolvery beautiful, a very amazing result!

Luci Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Those look great. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like them before. Were they really difficult? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverm00n Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Thanks Luci, at first they were a PITA! I did the votives, then tried a pint sized container, and let me tell you that was a disaster! It frosted on me like crazy so I kept zapping it with the gun, and of course the swirls blended into a solid color, sooo I had to remelt it and well it's not a marble anymore lol! I used a method that I found on here in the archives. I just poured the wax into my containers and waited for them to start forming a skin. Then I put a drop of dye in and gently swirled with a skewer. Cybersix, I guess they did come out a lil tye-dye. I was nervous that the marble effect wouldn't show so I made sure the dye was against the container wall. There's still room for perfecting the technique.Thanks for the critiques!

Aspencreek Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 They look great!!! They kinda remind me of those little vanilla ice cream cups that are swirled with chocolate that I use to get when I was in Elementary school.....I think it is time to go to bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
