CandleLytes Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 As I was trying to fall asleep last night, pissed one of my marbles didn't come out right, I had a vision of a type of Pillar I have not yet seen on here so I am attempting it today. If you have already done this technique, do you have a pic to show? My plan is to let my wax cool way down, a little past marble stage, then stir (but not whip) until it gets close to really thick oatmeal consistency, separate it into halves then add dye drops, 2 different colors, mix each fairly well but not totally. Then I will scoop the wax, alternating the colors in to my mold... heat with a heat gun for smooth sides and see what happens. Maybe I'll have invented something never tried before.

CandleLytes Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 I should add I am using Strawberry as my scent. I haven't decided yet if I want to try something with a light pink for one portion of the wax then a darker version for the second, or just do bergundy pink and white. Wiegh in if u have an opinion. before I get to that point, *wink* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveinPA Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 That's how I make marbles. I haven't made any for several years- I've seemed to have lost my marbles. LOL. Here's some pics of the ones I made. They were both scented, but I don't remember which scents I used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleLytes Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Well at least I know people do it. Wasn't sure if it had been done before or not. I just did it and probably won't be doing it again! Waaaaay too messy for me! LOL But you're candles look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveinPA Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Yes, it's very messy. That's probably why I haven't made any for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Those look good..and a great idea too..even if it is messy..sometimes if it is just for yourself..the mess is worth it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Actually something very close to that idea also helps do two-tone colored candles too. A lot of packing it in and smashing though for the dual tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
