Be very careful with testing of those chunks;the layers are looking good!

So, what scent are they?? I like the colors!

I really like the colors, the chunkies are cute.

Very interesting, nothing like I've ever seen before. Nice bright colors too. Just curious... those pillar looking jars, are they thick enough? The glass looks rather thin in the pictures, though it is hard to really tell.

Hmmm, maybe overdoing it just a bit with the bright colors.

I don't think so at all, I like those bright colors, maybe not for ME per say, but I would be drawn to them, and I know that my teen daughter really digs all those bright colors.

HI! First of all, thank you so much for your comments. I really appreciate all of them. Now to answer the following who posted comments:

for Eugenia - what do you mean by when testing those chunk candles?

for Deb - The pinkish ones and the reddish ones have mixed scents. Since I made them chunk style the blue ones have a blueberry scent, the yellow ones smell like lemon and the red ones smell like strawberry. I poured a cream colored wax that had the essence of vanilla but the red chunks bled so this is what came out. I topped them with whipped cream made of wax and scented that vanilla and also put red drizzles so it'll look like it has some syrup - thats strawberry scented. The green and neon green candle have basil and lemon scent respectively. The jar candle has 3 scents: chocolate fudge brownies, oatmeal raisin and cinamon buns scent. My other jar (i think its in the other thread has 3 scents: Cinnamon, Vanilla and Cherry.

Satin Ducky - Yes they are a bit thin but they are specifically made for candles and no store here has them so I use them. My candles have two wicks and the glass can withstand the heat. Whats popular here in the Philippines are pillar candles and hurricane candles. I do some pillars but I really enjoy jars more since the scent throw is stronger.

Jdscreations, topofmurrayhill and michi - thank you for your comments as well. This batch has bright colors but the next ones are a little more subdued. All the candles I posted were bought by one person and he asked me to sell them in his Salon/Spa since his customers really liked the way they looked and smelled. Not bad for a first timer right?

Warmest wishes and many thanks!

I like the nice bright colors....however, you are new to candlemaking? I would be careful selling untested candles, you could open the door to a huge liability. You could burn someone's house down....just a word of caution, but good luck with your candles, you seem to be very creative, just don't forget the boring testing part lol.
