Scented Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It's cool looking, but it looks brown. If this monitor is going out I'll scream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 That is a very awesome looking candle. I love black as well. My husband wants me to make some black palm container candles for his biker friends and now that I see how pretty the black is, I think I'll do that.

jakalex Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 that's cool!I love black. What do you use? I use peak's liquid dye.Would you mind if I ask you which wick do you put in those?Well, LOL! I used Black & Navy Dye Blocks from CS and a crap load of them! The order was a rush for a friend and I told them I had not tested the burn on these, especially with all that dye! They are for a reception so hopefully they will burn OK for that short amount of time! They will be in Hurricanes so.....I have placed an order for some Black dye powder to see if that will work better. Will let ya know.I used the CSN 26 wicks in the 4" pillar. I actually have one in the mold with FO. Will post a pick later tonight.I have tested the Heart Pillar mold from CS and the CSN 16 works divine!

cybersix Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 Wow...that is sharp! The picture is sooooo good too.Do you mind me asking how you got your BG so white? I have been trying with my light box for ages...and it always has a tinge of grey or brown to it Thank you for you nice comment!I'm not a good photographer but I leraned two important things, besides light (it has to be a white and cold light).One is balancing the white on your camera, once you've setup the lightbox. You may have to check the operator's manual. Mine does it choosing "manual balance" and taking a shot of what is really white. No other objects, only the white background. And remember that how the camera gets the white can change if you zoom or change angle.Second is putting something else with the candle, something else which has the complimentary color of it. So together they will do a sort of neutral tone. When you see a cast on your pics usualy is the same color of the object you are taking pics of.Third... sometimes software retouching helps. Not in this case, but sometimes when other steps fail you may need it.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Very pretty! Great job on the picture too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzie Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Sabrina, That looks stunning. I think that you may have just inspired me to give it a try myself. I have tons of Feather palm that I'm just not using because I prefer Cloudy in an undyed pillar but the Feather looks fabulous in black. Hmmm. Thanks, Mozzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I think that you may have just inspired me to give it a try myself.I feel the same way! This is a cool mold and the project ideas are endless! I have one floating around my head that I can't wait to try, thanks to Sabrina's inspiration!:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
