Sara Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Alright, folks. Let's do a candle challenge and tap into everyone's creative side. Especially those who make candles for business, sometimes you get caught in that slump of not having fun with wax anymore. So this month, let us use Sunflowers as a source of inspiration. I found this beautiful picture of a sunflower (sorry link not working -- It is third from last on this wallpaper site). Let the colors inspire - blues, greens, white clouds... the sunflower, of coarse Color restrictions: must stay in the colors of blue, green, white and yellow -- and brown (that's the "challenge").You can "sign-up" anytime this month and submit your picture to this thread at any time.

Judy I'm sure it will be beautiful and Scented...you make me want to only pour wax melts with your creativity. LOL!Ha, I heard that. I'm totally going to have to push myself a bit, since I can't remember the last time I made a candle just for "fun" and hobby. I've lost that inspiration I guess. But I'm going to give it a go.

silverm00n Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I think I'm interested. How does this work? Can it be pillars & jars, canes, anything, or just pillars? Then submit photo here and that's it? Please excuse my ignorance, I've never participated in anything on here yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please excuse my ignorance, I've never participated in anything on here yet .Yes, yes, pillars, jars -- whatever kind of candle you'd like. With emphasis on fun and creativity. It is an excuse to use a mold you haven't used for a while, a technique or whatever!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
