BruceCarvesWax Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Made this months ago but just got the camera working again. Clear orb with a few coats of black on the outside. Carved and glazed. Looks cool with a candle burning inside. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystical_angel1219 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Very unique, Bruce. You are a on roll tonight. I am really digging this pure jet black color.I will assume you use pigments, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherie Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Bruce, I thoroughly enjoy looking at your creations. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of "glaze" did you coat this orb with after you carved it? I've never painted or glazed wax so I just was wondering.

I am really digging this pure jet black color.I will assume you use pigments, but I could be wrong.Powder dye from pourette, love that stuff. I just did a black and clear wax water candle... kinda didnt turn out shape wise but its eye catching. If I can zen the wax to where I want it I might have something worth selling. OH did you guys see that tiny morel mushroom that already started to grow on the outside of the black water candle to the right in the 2nd orb pic? The glaze is just candle spray... pourette again. I dont like the dip on stuff. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceCarvesWax Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Beautiful job Bruce....ever thought about making candles for a living? :naughty: You may be on to something my dear, of course I may be on something myself..... Dont tell anyone but really I dont drink (dont count chi town), smoke, cuss (ok tiny bit) or anything, Im about as clean cut as they come. I just act like Im on drugs so I can make wild candles and get away with it. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donita Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Bruce......those look great. One of these day I may try to carve a candle. I bought the tools but the little I did didn't look that great. Yours look great. I also use the powder from Pourette. I like the black that I get. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonitaThanks everyone!Donita, this was just my one and only tester to see how they would look carved and with a candle inside. I sure don't plan on pursuing them, and only did basic cuts just to see how the light would shine inside. I thought it might spark a light bulb for peeps that make them and they could run with the idea. I bet it was half a year ago when I made it so I have moved on down the road since then. My brains too full right now as it is! Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 There is a store in Daytona Beach that does Carved Orb candles, they are really cool! I'm kicking myself for not buying one when I was down there last summer...I think the store is called the Daytona Candle Gallery, they take your order and carve it right in front of you if they have time. I think it takes 2 to 4 hours (I cant remember which amount of time) for them to dip/carve/glaze and let it dry before you can take it home. If I ever get down there again I will buy one...I had never seen them like that before, they were really cool.Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they were carving the solid ball candles down there. I think I have one that they made even. Whoever carved it carved an angel fishin it.. but the angel fish is upside down! lol No one noticed it until I pointed it out. (I use to raise fresh water angel fish and I knew when one looked like that it was dead! )Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
