jolsen1973 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I have these new tart molds that are absolutely adorable! They are shaped like hangtags and have either "Joy" or "Blessings" written on them and have a primitive/grubby look. I want to keep them with un-colored bases, but am wondering what I can add to make them look more primitive. Is there some kind of layering or swirling technique or maybe other materials I can add that will not effect the burn? I tried searching for the words "primitive look", but didn't find a whole lot! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryk Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I'm kinda not picturing what you are describing/want --- but if you just add a bit of brown to any color it will give you a "prim" looking color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van_yulay Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I think you want grubby, Take a look at some of my auctions? I don't know if this was your question. http://cgi.ebay.com/Silicone-Candle-Mold-Prim-Cone-Ornie-Star-Crow_W0QQitemZ120017588527QQihZ002QQcategoryZ41207QQcmdZViewItemGrubbing: Take a container and add oil of your choice and cinnamon. Make it like pancake batter. The longer it sits, the better the color. After demolding your item, use a paint brush and lightly brush with the mixture over your piece. Use a soft cloth and wipe the excess off. Then take a dry brush and rub in cimmaon gently. Easy as that!!! Coloring: I use liquid Ivory. Sounds funny but that is the brown color I get. I use one eye drop for 12 cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 what is the liquid ivory coloring for..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'm thinking the oil is fragrance oil ... the Ivory coloring is the color that you put into the melted candle wax ,,, and the ratio is one, full eye dropper to 12 cups of wax. Maybe it's just me, but I'm a little confused :undecided ... can you help us out here Van Yulay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Trying to be patient ... :embarasse ... hoping you can clear up a couple of questions for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon in KY Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I'm sure it would be better with Veg or Olive oil, something that doesn't smell. The cheap cinnamon doesn't have much of a smell so that would work great. Just don't use Extra Fancy Vietnamese Cassia Cinnamon from Penzey's. It is the very best smelling and tasting cinnamon I have ever had. Yum.. http://www.penzeys.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van_yulay Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Sorrry about that, I got slammed this week with orders,LOL... good problem to have. Ivory it the liquid dye I use. It makes a rustic color when used in large quanities. You can't make that color with adding different color dyes. I love doing prim, now. It took awhile to get it , but now it is my number one sellers. Monca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van_yulay Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 You can use any kind of kitchen oil, veg or olive!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyberry Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 You can also dust the bottom of the mold with cinnamon, when you fill with wax it then settle to the bottom which becomes the top adn gives some definition to the raised parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri in Canada Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Wouldn't the ivory soap affect the burn of the candle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlebuddy Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Sherri ... the ivory is the color of the liquid candle dye (NOT ivory soap) ... You can get it at CandleScience (www.candlescience.com). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri in Canada Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 lmao!!!!Ok now I feel real stupid :embarasse When I read Monica's post and she said liquid ivory I automatically went in to Ivory Soap mode...thanks for clearing that misconception up for me buddy! *Slinking back to down another coffee or two before making another post!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van_yulay Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 You are not the only one thinks of ivory dish soap, LOL... I have lots of response to that. I should start my answer with the dye I use... Maybe that would help. I never think in the box, so I totally understand. Monica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredron Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 The spelling on the Daizey is correct. They aren't always available on E-bay, but last time I tried, the name still came up in a Google search.Fredron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
