Vio Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I love cows. I collect them for my kitchen. LOL Yes I'm strange I know. Anyway, I see these cow pillars made of soy on ebay and one day, would love to be able to make one for myself. Far down the road of course, as I'm going to get the container thing down first. Anyone have any idea how this person makes these? Like, how do you get the spots on there? Paint or something probably? Or some kind of embed thing? They look really cool. http://cgi.ebay.com/Soy-pillar-candle-5-set-COW-PRINT-Triple-Scented_W0QQitemZ250191248286QQihZ015QQcategoryZ46777QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 First thought is paints the candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyvega Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Could it be some sort of embed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Looks like paint with what they said ... a paraffin overdip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gracie Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I need to make leopard candles and it was suggested to me to try over dipping a black candle and then cut out the circle while still warm, it may work for cows too. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracie Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I need to make leopard candles and it was suggested to me to over dip a black candle with brown and cut out the circles while still soft. Mind you I have not tried it yet. It might work for cows also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 OK so if it's paint, with a paraffin overlay, it wouldn't make the paint run huh? Or maybe she hand paints some paraffin over the spots first to not have them run, then overdips? I almost want to buy one to study the thing. LOL But then I wouldn't need to make it myself for my own kitchen! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comfortscents Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 what about pouring it as an ice candle? First the black wax in the mold over the ice cubes and then the white wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy one and you'll know for sure what she does It could be randomly cut out pieces that are laid into the mold, but I'm not thinking so.
