Scented Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Only suggestion is to test this carefully, because it isn't easily wicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Deer Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 I agree, Scented. I first tried HTP41 and couldn't get the sides/edges of the votives to melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 As for color I do mine in a gold or a tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Myrrh is orange/amber to brown, while high-end Frankincense is light lemon-yellow. I've always thought royal purple would be a good color for it if you wanted to get away from the earth tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Deer Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Debscent-- that's a great color idea. I'm making some green pine votives for stocking stuffers for family (I don't sell any candles, I'm a crafter who gives most of them away). Gold would be a great complementary color with the green pine votives.HenrryK-- Thanks for the info about the colors of frankinsence and myrrh in nature. I didn't know that. My Mom would love the royal purple. She thinks frankincense and myrhh reminds her of church and the priest often wears royal vestments.
