Scented Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Was in a cutting mood just to see what it was like -- PITA! This is sun, moon and stars. Someone said do yellow and royal blue, but it was too late. Only did two this way because it's a PITA. Must think of an easier method. Also didn't want the black rustic, but I was being rushed to go eat dinner. Besides I can call that part the milky way :rolleyes2 [ATTACH]11895[/ATTACH]This is unfinished watermelon ... or seedless watermelon lol. Though I would paint some seeds on, maybe. Had more fun though doing two tone stripes. [ATTACH]11896[/ATTACH]Ignore those funky, smeared backgrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judyvega Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 It's about time you finally posted in the candle gallery again - yeah, I see you posting over in B&B - thought you had forsaken this side altogether I especially like the stars and moon - you have FAR more patience than me.

CountryGal Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 WOW! Scented, that looks AWESOME!!!! How do you do that!?!?! I have never seen anything like that before! Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hey thanks! Just cut into pliable wax with a knife and pull the wax out. Pulling that wax out is the trick. You don't want the wax to bleed like the yolk of a stuck egg. Just makes for more cutting. Would suggest using something dull to cut with too. That's all that I did on these things. I need smaller hands though lol. Trying to do the sun was the hardest part, especially when the so-called rays broke.I did say I was looking for an easier method and I still am. Course cutting stripes is nothing if you pull them out gently. Cutting triangles is a different story. Oh no Tina, I haven't stopped making candles. I haven't made soap in like 1 1/2 months and have been doing the candle thing since. Have too much to do, that's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it when you get a little loopy and start the experimentation though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
