Shannon WY Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Here's my version of egg nog:) Used 1343, steric 3 tbsp per pound and only 3% FO. Poured first layer at 150, second layer at 175, third layer at 150 and set outside to cool for about 30-45 min to cool- not sure of the temp outside, must have been around 50. Despite so little FO, it sure does smell good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 That's what I call a very spiffy candle. LOOKS GREAT to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candleslh Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 oooohhh aaaahhh I'm really liking that one. I'm kind of into the more neutral colors here lately. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I love the look! Great colors. I've cut almost all of my pillars back to 3%, due to cost and also, I'm finding that the good quality FOs throw failry well. Keeping votives and tarts higher though.

Shannon WY Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Thanks for all the kind comments you guys and gals. You just never know what's going to come out of a mold sometimes. I've always liked the mix of rustic and mottled so thought I'd try one for myself. How did I miss this one?! Your mottling is FANTASTIC! I have to get off 1274 and go back to 1343 or to something else. Thanks for posting your recipie.Absolutely beautiful.PS. You should have entered the contest!I wanted to try to make a dupe of the BBB candle (I had even printed off a pic of it to use as a guide) but just had too many other things I needed to get done- hopefully I'll be able to join in the next "contest".
