Michi Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Aren't those darling? perfect for Spring huh!! I wouldn't even begin to know how to do those????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Possibly by making two sets of chunks, one being the same color as the overpour, then stacking the colors alternately? Interesting look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaritamama Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Possibly by making two sets of chunks, one being the same color as the overpour, then stacking the colors alternately? Interesting look.That's exactly what I thought - kind of like a checkerboard pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Maybe that's another exstuded candle like the YankMe pillars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokerjen Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 It looks too uniform to be chunks....:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 That's what has me thinking paint lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFrog Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Those things are TOO perfect. Kinda gives me the creeps. heh I bet those burn like their plastic looking crappy counter part candles. You know, the ones that are shaped awesome, but are poured with the lowest grade (thinking granulated) wax posible. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Sarah Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 maybe some kind of paint... or some kind of overdip. but the top is like that too... i vote for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 maybe some kind of paint... or some kind of overdip. but the top is like that too... i vote for paint.I think its paint to,,,I bet when you burn it,,it is all white on the inside,,,JMO,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottabt Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 This is why I have not done anything fancy - I was thinking that they make the grid on a sheet and place it into the pillar and then fill with wax - similar to a cookie cutter candle???

Darwin Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Would it be easier to make the white part chunks and then pour the color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Kitty Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I'm thinking carved, like the drilled candles. Set up a shell like a hurricane and then carve or drill different shapes, then set the shell back into the mold and then pour the internal candle. That design would actually be easy, though time consuming because of the possibility of cracking the shell unless you use either a low-heat wood burning tool, or heat an xacto knife and then taking care not to go too overboard with the heat.They're beautiful nonetheless. I don't think they're chunks, they're entirely TOO uniform, not to mention that you would have bleeding of the colors. And I've never seen paint that soft before on a candle, not to mention, if you look close, you can see the entire candle is wax, there IS soft bleeding between the colors.That's my opinion, but I swear that's a drilled/carved pattern.

CandleFreak Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I'm with Candle Kitty on this one...I'm thinking drilled....maybe another possibility is the millefiore (sp???) technique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolas Lights Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 That's what has me thinking paint lol!I was thinking air brushed painted with a checked stencil.......hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbtddr Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 i made one once that had the pattern for my sister who has a red and white kitchen.i do not no if they did it like this but i poured a coat of wax in a cookie sheet. cut it into strips and then took the strips and pushed them on the side of the mold. the wax was still soft when i put it in the mold.then like weaved them.you need a heat gun to keep it soft enough.the strips was red.then i did a over pour of white.like doing chunks.but the top i left kinda hanging over till i did my repour.it was neat but i do not think this is what they did but it worked.
