candleslh Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 These are the candles I did for my sons new apartment. He really loved them and I scented them with Tommy. It let me do this from work, so now I know it was something wrong with my computer at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candleslh Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 Well thank you all very much for the compliments! You all are too kind. I love making these layered rustics. It does take a little bit to get the hang of it. I finally figured out when I poured too soon they would bleed through, but you also have to pour just at the right time so they don't show grove at the seam. I also figured out that you have move the pouring pot around and not pour on the same spot or it will melt a hole in the bottom layer and bleed through. About my son, I just have to brag a little bit on him. He is simply the best. He's a senior in college...majoring in computer science, information tech. and math (3 degrees). He works fulltime as a dispatcher for the college police dept., drives 30 miles one way 2 days a week and works at the hwy patrol training patrolman how to use notebook computers in their cars and also works on some software stuff for them. He's building the college a server and serves as VP on a board that is a liaison with big companies and the computer dept. (if that makes sense) and he and another guy have a small business of their own where they build websites for people. Right now his side business is building a racial profiling statistic program for all police agencies to use in the state. Missouri passed a law that police depts. have to provide the state with these statistics starting in Jan. 2006 and there is nothing out there for this yet. He has a meeting with the Attorney General to show them this program to see if it is acceptable. Plus he carries a full load of classes and makes HONOR ROLL every semester, sometimes the deans honor roll and he just turned 21 in June. So needless to say I don't mind paying for his college and spoiling him when I can. Sorry I got a little carried away on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides mastering the black & white technique, your parenting skills are obviously top-notch also.OMG PAM!! Thank you for saying that. I hope that's true! I know over the years I kept thinking I hope I'm not doing something to screw these 2 kids up. So far so good! I have a 22 year daughter too and she is the best too! Oh and thanks for the compliments on the candles, but the other one was the best!!! If I can do it, you can too! Just jump in. If it wasn't for some of the pros on this board and them pushing me, I wouldn't be making soap either. Their works of art inspire me!
