mauimom Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 During our last huge snowstorm last weekend, I decided that I was ready for some spring scents and colors! The votives are Plumera and Gardenia. The square containers are Spring Rain, Honeydew Melon, Blak Cherry, and Ocean Breeze. The floaters are Lemon/Lime, and the pilars are scented with grapefruit, tangerine, and sage. Have not decided on a name for them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieTheCat Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Very pretty! I really like the colors of your square container candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauimom Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Thanks, Cat. I see you are brand new to this site and I would assume candle making. Just as I was a few short months ago. So, the color of the containers are all dye chips (Ivory with a tiny touch of Fushia, Melon, Purple, and Blue. I used IGI 4630 Blended wax for those with 44-36-182 Zinc core wicks which I attached to the bottom with a touch of heated glue. Just a touch. Good luck.

ladysj Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Those look really nice. Love the colors. You've been a busy little bee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 They look good but was wondering if you did a repour on the votives? If not, you may want to try that. There wouldn't be such a sink in the middle. Otherwise, great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look kinda' bad. :embarasse I did one repour, and the next morning should have done another, but had run out of my scent mixture. Plus, I had to go shovel more snow!

MaggieTheCat Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Yes, I am brand new to both the site and candle-making. In fact, my niece and I are going to try to learn together. We ordered a few things that have just arrived, and we're planning to pour our first candles tomorrow. I expect it will be awhile before we have anything as nice as yours to photograph!
