sweetscents Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 heck can I do something like this? Is it just a matter of multiple pours with multiple colors?http://www.anacandles.com/catalog/item/1692509/4934573.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Those tapers? They're probably taped off and then painted and sealed is my guess. Would take too much time to pour all those layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetscents Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Painted with what type of paint do you think? And sealing, is it just a matter of dipping in uncolored wax? Thanks for all the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Those layers are poured. When one sets up a large batch and the layers are small like those, it doesn't take long to pour them. They blend a little where they meet - great temperature control. Doing tedious layers is actually much easier with large batches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 If you don't want to try pouring layers, you could use acrylic paint mixed with candle medium (you can find this in hobby/craft stores) and then dip the candle in some candle glaze to finish it off. Though when you burn the candle the paint will float in the melt pool. Not sure how it would look. All part of testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Another thought...You could pour the candle in one color and then tape it up and over dip it in the other color you want to use then remove the tape carefully. Then again dip in glaze.I never tried but it's a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
