Arlene Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I really tried to get all of my "ducks in a row" before I started on this project. I got all my supplies and directions together, crossed my fingers, and began. By the end of the project the ducks were wildly flying around the kitchen like raving lunatics. Somehow, it managed to turn out okay. Whew As you can see, it doesn't have a wick yet. One nerve-wracking thing at a time.It's been 2 days since I completed it. I think I've calmed down enough to try it again. This time the ducks will be chain-ganged and tranquilized! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Long time not to make! I think it's quite cool looking ... actually with a buffed outside in some browns and black, it could almost look like a chunk of log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlene Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hey Ya'll....thanks for looking. You know it does kinda look like a log. I was thinking a fat "Slim Jim". lol :whistle: Come on Kimmeroo...you've got the mold, and I know how you like to test...I've been doing container candles on and off for the last 15 yrs. The Pillar I referred to in '72 was made with Gulf Wax (used for canning) and a small box of Crayola crayons for color. Ah, to be young again and not know any better...
