Scented Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Any thoughts? Wish I had a before picture to show just how ultra ugly they were with red and purple stripes, but apparently they were so ugly that my files pitched those shots into nothingness. So used a combo of a very light red and some purple to soften the visual blow. Next time I may just go ahead and remelt the dang things. The one on the left just has the light red (OK almost pinkish) overcoat to it and the one on the right has both the red and light purple. No biggie if you think they're ghastly as you won't be the only one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenscandles Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 They are not so bad! I still love the "iced" look you're playing with. My daughter loves these colors!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Thanks! I am trying to come up with an iced/granite look lol. Next attempt will be to go for a marigold look, which will drive me insane perhaps. Will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well now I didn't say it was me who thought they were ghastly lol! My partner does. I think what's under the outer look (colorwise) is hideous Thanks for your compliment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvcandletarts2 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I don't think they look that bad either. A few years ago I made some that were so putrid yellow and no wonder they won't come out of the votive mold, still to this day. I just shake my head and leave them sit. They have been in the freezer, the hot summer weather... might as well leave them outside to melt now and then go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von354 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 They look really good. You could scent them with any of the Strawberry fragrance oils. Maybe alot of Strawberry with a bit of Butt Naked fragrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
