ladysj Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Very nice job there!! And your melt pools look good also. How long had they been burning?:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnjieBurdett Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Thank you!! I think they had been burning there for just under an hour, they were the 3 I made for testing, the small one had an LX20, the medium an LX22 and the big an LX24, after 2 hours they were all looking good but on the 2nd burn the LX22 and 24 started bulging out the side of the candles, the LX20 is still being burnt though and going good.Anjie,x.

starlessjade Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Beautiful! Wow, your phone takes much better pictures than mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 well done anjie, they look lovely and sound delicious I can't believe you're burning them lmao I must make some to test instead of just practicing the finishes of them.I need to sort out a lot of diff wicks first. Where in uk do you get the LX ones? I thought that was an american terminology? I thought we in the UK had things like 54-32-18 (ish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmvanilla Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Wow, your phone takes much better pictures than mine! That's what I was thinking, too! They look great! I love LX wicks.What does bulging out the side mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnjieBurdett Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 LOL I thought it was about time i started testing them instead of just looking at them I got the LX wicks from www.candelights.co.uk along with my wax. When I said 'bulging out the side' i meant that the wick was too big a started to melt the candle out the side - at the top. It started collapsing out the side and left a bulge.Anjie,x.ETA: Yes my phone takes great pics! Although I am still crap at taking them *LOL* Sony Ericsson K800i, its got the 3.2 megapixel Cybershot camera on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Those look good! That's a great method of wick testing, to burn them side by side with different wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I really must pluck up the guts to burn some lol.I'll never be able to sell, if I never test They're just too pretty though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnjieBurdett Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Wick, I know!! But I cheated :neener: I made 4 and one is still sitting on my fireplace LOL.Here's my latest, and omg the cold throw on it is amazing!! Coffee caramel creme. Yu u uuuum. I love this sent. Not too sure on the colours though, the 'sand' colour turned out much lighter than it looks in chip form.I've got some marzipan fo to try out, might try some stripeys.And thanks Smokin' Anjie,x.
