dcroome2005 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 These are the worst I have made. I know what I did wrong ( poured at a high temp) but I was messing around with something different and screwed it all up. Oh well. I guess this is why we call it " Practice" They are on the griddle because I am getting ready to level and wick!Anyways- what do you think of the "color " combo? Any Suggestions? I promise I wont get pissy and think you all hate me for giving suggestions. LMFAOHey Trish- I am going to do what you shared with me tomorrow. Today, it just didn't happen.This is scented with Falling Leaves and Harvest Spice both from The Jar Store. Really great sellers with my customers in the Fall/Winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspencreek Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I am not a huge fan of the color combination, maybe if the orange was not so dark they might look a little better. Other then that I am sure that they smell wonderful.Doesn't practice SUCK!!!!! I still screw things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yup, definitely poured too hot. I'm not a big fan of the color combo either. I'm not sure why though...I keep looking at it trying to figure out why...I think part of it is TOO much orange at the top. The rest of the layers seem off to me because of it. Maybe a darker brown would look good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yeah, you guys are right. I am not doing this color combo again. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 A mahogany brown would be lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 You might even add a third color. A nice bright RED would be fabulously fall!! (Especially since we appear to have missed fall this year ) Just split that orange in half and add a bunch of red with a touch of brown and you should get a good looking red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle Man Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 If they had some golden yellow and/or red in them, they would be great for fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Well crap ya'll. Half and Half on the hating/liking it.. You aren't making it easy for me.. OK, well I am going to take these to the craft show and see if I can get some votes from the customers and see if they like these kind of colors. If they do, I will stick with it and take all suggestions and roll with them.:highfive: Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
