kalamazoo Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Marika those are really great. They are handpainted! - I thought they were embeds at first, but then noticed the fine hair detail on the bears back and the tree foilage. Very original. Well done.

marika Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 Thank youI do embed most of my canes but I really enjoy hand painting the silhouettes (can't mess up the colors:wink2: ). I do dip them again so the paint can't be scratched offMari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donita Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Your candles look beautiful.....great job....on all of them. Of course now that I live in bear country.....I will be doing a bear candle...but I am going to cheat and use a picture we have of a deer in a tree and put it on a regular large round hurricane. I can paint flowers, but I think a bear would not look as good as yours. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crafter Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I should of guessed the hurricane thing. So how the heck do you do that. A balloon. Looks way to complicated to me. I love to paint though. But they are just awesome looking. Christi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
