BruceCarvesWax Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 My half and half candle, its endless love and dogwood. Just testing this to see if it could be done just incase I want to make the coffee and donut candles in the future. They came out maybe a little better then I thought they would. Sorry my flash is on the fritz, so its out of focus, but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceCarvesWax Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 Last picture, and PLEASE don't try this at home! This is what happens if you dip your face in hot wax!!!Remember, I am a professional stunt waxer! I have years of practice of doing stupid things with hot wax! I am now bald and eyebrow less, but have great skin. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 The apple pies particularly kick butt and I'm hungry now. Some fine work there.But of course your facial is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 The pies are great. The dual colored containers are perfect. I tried a few things on pillars, but had absolutely no success and gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolas Lights Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Love the pies, they look so real. Love the half, and half containers also. I wanna know your secret on doing those containers. the facial is cool but don't worry, I won't try that one. I kinda like my face without dipping it in hot wax..... Great job as usual.

BruceCarvesWax Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 Thanks everyone! Its been 4 years since I have made any of the pie candles, I just don't ever seem to have the time, but decided to whip some out Monday.I have made blueberry, cherry and pumpkin also, but only did the apple for now. These are one size up from the last ones I made so I need to adjust the price on them up a little. I had sold them for $6.50 before.The half and half candles are just 2 candles cooled and cut out of their jars, cut in half and the halves switched, heated to go solid again. Heat gun, cheese cutter and just make sure the candles you start out with are level and the same amount of wax. Will not work on all jars, just jars that taper like these do. The amount of cuts you do is only limited to the amount of PIA you want to deal with. I think you could use 4 flavors (colors) and be OK with it.The mask deal, no I didn't dip my head in wax. I was just playing with a piece of wax that I cut off a piece of glass dipped into the wax and stuck it on my face. It will go back in the black wax soon. Thats my "Garf" picture of the batch. Just an experiment. Got to get ready for a show now, will check in Sunday night when we get back. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceCarvesWax Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 OH, just got a idea from the half and half candles!How about cut them with the ying yang symbol one half black, one white? Hummm, going to think about this while I'm at the show, that might be a winner. I need to find one of my cookie cutters that are "s" shaped that I can adjust just a little and I might be in business.Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Damn, Bruce! You are a true professional, those pies are amazing!! Love your experiment as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garf Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I'm trying to figure out how you can make the half and half candles so perfect. No luck.##################################################It would help if I would read all the posts before replying to a thread. I would never have thought of splitting 2 pillars and rematching them. It takes great precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceCarvesWax Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 I do the same thing all the time Phil, no problem. The cheese cutter is great to use, the wire is so thin it displaces very little wax. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know those? They're kinda large and flat, coated with vanilla frosting on one half and darkish chocolate on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
