lindanelson Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 This was my first attempt at swriling. They are cinammon vanilla.The cinammon was colored with cinammon liquid dye. The vanilla was not colored.I let the wax cool to 120. Using palm wax. I think it should of been cooler. The pictures are all 4 sides of each candle.Any suggestions to get a better swirl?

PixieWick Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I think you did a great job .. the swirls came out nice ... maybe next time .. more vanilla less cinnamon so you can see more of both colors .. I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE to swirl wax .. soap i have no clue .. lol .. but yours came out great .WTG ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindanelson Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 Thank you. I think I'm going to be doing these and ice pillars for a while. Then I need to try some tilted ones.This is why I love making candles and soap (even if it is melt and pour). Just about anything you do will work somehow.

Stella1952 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Looks like you have been having a lot of fun! Nice job! Be careful about cooling the palm wax more before pouring... it solidifies quickly! We pour palm mottles between 185°-190°F. Palm wax is challenging with which to work, but we enjoy the unique effects one can achieve with it. You will have a lot of fun tilting palm pillars!

Love2Scent Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Those look way better than my attempts at swirling. Like you, I think I had my wax too hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Yes, cheat! (for the swirls)The stuff takes awhile to set doesn't it? Not so sure, but if you can keep the bottom open, you can slash color into the wax using a chopstick if you want. (course taking a guess as I have no palm to play with) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
