kalamazoo Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Been dying to try out this new mould and really wanted to get a good mottle this time. This is using straight paraffin, some stearin and a heavy load of FO. Serengeti Sunset is from AH/RE. I am really pleased with it. Thanks for looking.

kalamazoo Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Beautiful and I love that mold. Just wondering if you test burned it yet and how it burns?Thanks. This is the first one I have made. I used the wick that came with the mould - looks like it could be 15 or 18 flat ply. Not going to burn this one just yet. Wicked up the mould again using 15ply and will make something a little less strong and maybe more rustic and burn that. Don´t think it is going to be great to burn these, certainly going to leave some kinda shell. Will post pics when I eventually start test burning these.

kalamazoo Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Sarah that's wonderful!!! I realli like a lot the mold but also the coloring you chose!Thanks for the nice comment Sabrina. I think Candlechem have this mould. The colouring was quite a challenge - took me ages. Kept notes and the small drops of colour I poured onto paper, so next time will be a little easier.

Candle Man Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Looks great.Odd shapes will not burn well, at all. The best thing to do for odd shapes, is to make them everlasting, with either a tea light or votive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalamazoo Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks everyone for the nice comments. When my DH saw it he just said "Wow", and he hardly ever comments about my candles. I really want to try putting a glass tealight cup in the mould and try and make everlasting candles, like CandleMan suggested - but I guess one would then scent the tealights, not the whole candle? Leesters: I made that red colour using red liquid dye and shavings of orange dye block to tone it down a bit. Handmade: The dimensions of the mould are 6" x 6" x 2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 That is simlpy stunning.......if it was mine I'd have to burn it even if it didn't consume the wax completely, I think the glow from the flame as the wick burned through the middle would be gorgeous.Sally.
