Candle Man Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 They look great.Did you have good test results for all of those scents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 They look great. I really like your labels on the the tins, simple - but elegant. I really like the container candles, but I am afraid of wicking those puppies...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jldorrington Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 all the scents i've tested have had wonderful hot and cold throw.. those little containers are actually smaller then they look in pic i use cd-5 and they burn perfectly. i get all my fragrance oils from natures gardenfreezin glad you like the labels i was actually wondering if they looked stupid or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 they look great. are these soy? i love the red you achieved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jldorrington Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 yeah their all pure soy... that red came from one dye chip i was suprized cause everything i read said i wouldn't be able to get vibrant colors with soy.. but i've been able to get some really good colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayMaire Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I think your candles are lovely! Are those 4-ounce tins? I really like the clear labels on them like that! I like your jars too!Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jldorrington Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 oh that pear scent god what a pain that was i knew what i wanted in my head it was just trying to achieve it mixing the yellow and blue... i kept adding the blue a teeny tiny bit at a time till i got it... so thank you all that hard work is worth it if people actually like it... the pear is actually something i worked on so i could have it perfected when i made my granmothers candle for x-mas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you also buy your wax from there too? Your glasses look really nice with NO wetspots! Yay. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jldorrington Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 yes i do order my wax from there i originally got my wax from candle wic but i didn't really like that as much as i like the natures garden wax... it seems like all their scents throw very well in soy i guess thats prob because all they have is soy and joy... still not quite sure what the deal is with the joy wax maybe i'll try that one daythank you everyone for the compliments i actually feel like i found something i can be really good at.. as a stay at home mommy i needed a hobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onesweetscent Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I use the Joy from NG and just love it. I started out using soy and just decided to try the Joy because I've heard so many things about it. For me it's works like a champ! It's a blend of everything you need in your wax without adding this and that. I still add some little things to it be it's really not needed. I just do that for me. If you do ever try it, keep me posted on the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
