HunterGreenLover Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I am heating up some wax right now to make some pumpkin pie spice and don't have any orange die, but do have peaks primary colors...so I am thinking equal parts red to yellow from what I remember in my art classes from elementary school....oh so long ago. What does anyone else think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YooperCandles Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I would start with more yellow then add red as you see fit. HTHPam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I agree with pam...start with the yellow and add the red to it a bit at a time until you get what you want. I don't have orange either and always mix my primary red and yellow to get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterGreenLover Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Thank you!I did start with the yellow and added the red to it...I now have a redish orange, but they aren't cool yet so I can't really tell what it will look like.

Soapymomma Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 adding some brown to make it look like the spice is in there. Most pumpkin stuff has spice and so brownish. How did it turn out? Soapymomma:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HunterGreenLover Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 The color turned out awesome and was a total smash. I am using Palm wax so you get some great color variations with the wax normally and the orange looked great. I also did some black ones as well. I also have some orders for Christmas candles now as I gave them to some friends hosting a party and everyone was raving about them and the cold throw is amazing, so is the hot.Thank you all!ps. I forgot to take pictures...one of these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
