Vicky_CO Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Okay this idea has been bugging me for days and last night I dreamed about it. So I had to make today. This is a really rough first try. I have to see if others think what I think about it. We will see, be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspencreek Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Well it is very unique. Honestly I am not sure that I like it. Is there something that you where trying for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 It's interesting, definitely creative, maybe another color would be better though, just not sure about those colors you have. Funky colors (like purple, green, hot pink or teal and brown or brown and pink etc.) maybe?? I have no idea how you did that, but it's amazing what we can come up with in our dreams huh?

Vicky_CO Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 I know different colors would be great but I was looking more to see if it could be done. So I just grab up a ball candle already sitting here and used some straight beeswax for the effect. I can see in my mind a lot of other different design using lines of wax.

Erin Lea Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I think it's awesome---love the color! It looks like a pumpkin to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jes432 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I think the cencept is really cool. It definitely does remind me of a pumpkin in those colors. I was thinking Halloween/Thanksgiving candle. I can't wait to see what you try next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Interesting!! It looks like a caramel apple to me. I always wake up from dreaming and start creating......Sweet dreams... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 OK here ya go for honesty lol ...Very interesting concept, but I don't like the overdip and I think the lines are too thick, but man you could have lots of fun with this. I am ignoring the colors (cuz I think that was implied lol). I was thinking they looked somewhat like Christmas ornamental balls before the razzle dazzle is added to them.

candlesprite7 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I too like the concept and think you could go with thinner lines...Maybe a more intricate pattern?Cool Idea though! Very creative! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsvlbrat Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I was thinking they looked somewhat like Christmas ornamental balls before the razzle dazzle is added to them.My 1st thought was pumpkin...I love the way you are thinking 'out of the box'... I'm anxious to see more ideas. I think it looks pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corence Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 My first thought was a caramel apple??? I like it though, it's unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Interesting....unique, maybe in different colors like others have said. Not just your basic candle. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Okay, maybe it's just me, but it looks a little....female? I love the idea, and it's really neat, the pattern is just bugging me a little. Anyone else see what I'm talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Okay, maybe it's just me, but it looks a little....female? I love the idea, and it's really neat, the pattern is just bugging me a little. Anyone else see what I'm talking about? Amy is right...there is something "female" about it.

Vicky_CO Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Oh that is funny LOL Well sure as heck would not make some thing male I have to many of that in my life now. Well either you guys are not being very honest or no one has the opinion of me. My opinion while this was fun and I can see some thing I could do to make it better that damn thing is ugly. It does have great potential for future creativity. The lines do need to be thinner. I also think if set up right would make a good project for kids. That is kind of what I was looking for I have my son 24/7 for almost 3 weeks over xmas break and I like to have projects he can do at my shop with out having to drag a bunch of stuff from home.

Donita Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Vicky....if you don't have a dream then how will you make a dream come true (smile).....you definately have something going on....it does remind me of a carmel apple too. Now that you have figured out the technique you can play with other colors and shapes or whatever. I think it is fun to invent new things...good for you.
