heidijo Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 My favorite are the purple ones, beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 They are all beautiful, but I really love the colors on the first two sets. I wish I could pick complementing shades like that!Thanks Ducky. The candles in pic #1 are what I call - what you see is what you get. I started with the yellow and on each consecutive layer I add a few shavings of rust and/or brown and kept going darker with each pour...no real planning:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perkyaim99 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Thanks PamI have made rustic pillars before, however they didn't have layers like yours. I think I found an earlier post about rustic layer pillarsThanks againAmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Thanks PamI have made rustic pillars before, however they didn't have layers like yours. I think I found an earlier post about rustic layer pillarsThanks againAmyfor the layered candles, just pour 1st layer, slosh it around in a sloppy fashion, let it cool till a film forms over the wax then pour the next layer and on and on depending on how many layers you're making. The sloppier I pour, the better they look ---- most of the time anyway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perkyaim99 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Thanks Pam!BTW, I was reading some old posts about your rubber embossed inserts. I'm sure you don't have any to sell, so I won't bother asking But would you sell me a candle? I make silicone molds... would love to make a mold from it!TIAAmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
