MexicoCandleGirl Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi guys!!!Hope you like them!!!The first one is just chunk: light purple with grape scent (in the photo looks like pink!!!)The second one is a technique that I learned in a Mexico Candle Store. It is called "Talavera" but don´t know how to translate it. It is supposed to have some swirls. I don´t know if I will do another one, it consumes a lot o time!!!

HeavenScentU Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Wow! They are both awesome, but the second one is totally uniquely cool. That looks so time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlesprite7 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Those look really great!I think The Candlemaker's Companion or the Encyclopedia of candlemaking has instructions for doing the second one, it is similar to Millefiori isnt it?

MexicoCandleGirl Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Those look really great!I think The Candlemaker's Companion or the Encyclopedia of candlemaking has instructions for doing the second one, it is similar to Millefiori isnt it?Don´t know if it is similar to Millefiori. I´ll try to explain it and afterwards if you know the technique pls tell me!!!Here we go:The first step is really easy because the only thing you need to do is a Pillar in whatever color you like.At the same time you would like to do the other part (the complicated one):You will need a special wax (it’s a sticky wax) and a cookie sheet or something to pour the wax (apply a cooking spray or something). Divide the wax in two or more because you will need two or more colors (in my case I used pink and purple). Pour the purple wax on the cookie sheet (you need a very thin layer only) when it is just a little dry, you will need to pour the other layer (pink wax), and afterwards pour another layer (purple wax). At the end you will have three layers on the cookie sheet. You will need to wait until it is really dry. When this happens you will have to make a roll with the wax and then cut it in small peaces (see the photo). As it is sticky so you only need to ”paste” them on the Pillar as they had glue.That’s it I think!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 So just stick on? Do you over dip? I know I have sticky wax here somewhere, but no time to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
