Donita Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Be careful Top, guard your formulas, I may be coming to the City in November......cousin "Sandy" said we could use her apartment if she doesn't need it.......I'll bet I could take up a collection on this board and people would pay for me to go and get a peek at your "receipes".....I was awake at 5:32 this morning trying to figure out what waxes I was going to blend today for more experiments....one of these days I have to get back to work.....but I just can't help myself.....Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Wow Top! Those are totally awesome. I don't usually go for the splotchy mottles but these are different. The color and depth to them make them real winners! I guess it was worth waiting for your work. I only caught the crappy ones before. Was beginning to think you were all talk LOL (well, you do go on and on)! Yep, I am very impressed. e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinInOR Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yup, the bestest mottle I've seen yet. The depth of it makes you want to keep looking at it. Good job! Seems you've got the knack of figuring it all out down to a science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topofmurrayhill Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 What camera do you use?Canon EOS 20D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Thanks to all for the positive feedback. Thought this might be of interest...Here is a fifth burn getting under way. I'm very pleased with the way these pillars self-consume in 4 hours burns. No bulge, no sweat. 3 hour burns (not shown here) test well too.

BruceCarvesWax Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Canon EOS 20D.Nice burn on the candle there guy! I have a few ebay auctions in my favorites that are tracking this type camera. Can you use the cannon eos ultrasonic lens with it? I have a nice cannon elan film camera with 2 nice ultrasonic lens and a real nice speed light. I was going to get a 20D body and sell the elan body, but didnt look up to see if they will interchange. The flash on my nikon is screwed up and I like cannon anyways sooooooo.

tucker Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 WOW. I guess I'm the new kid on the block and haven't seen that many mottles but I gotta tell ya, "them's the best I've seen thus far". Keep up the great stuff and keep the pics comming, we all love to see quality pics like yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxing Poetic Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 If I got a mottle like that on 3 candles, I don't think I could bring myself to do a test burn. They'd be sitting somewhere prominentally on display in my house for months.That mottle with that colour is just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Your burn looks very good. I think you struck paydirt! I am doing a test burn on a reddish candle right now....hoping that it burns as well as yours. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'm thinkin you need to develop your own mottling wax and sell it to us! Beautiful stuff! Did you also use a backdrop for your photography? That's always my hardest part. I want the full studio setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
