litefut Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Made this candle using the candlefun technique. It's so much more easier than the way I used to carve them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

litefut Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Candlefun technique is where the candles are placed on a carving rack that you can flip over and make the cuts in different directions. The core candle has a long plastic tube in the middle where you put the candle oil. It's just so much easier to carve. He even has cd's that shows you have to do this. I love it! Thank you!!

NancyT Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Is that the silver metalic pigment ? The candle is beautiful. I also have the Candlefun system and I love it. I'm finishing up inventory for a 10 day festival that starts this Friday so keep your fingers crossed for me that they sell well. How long have you been carving? You do a vey nice job.Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litefut Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks so much Nancy. Actually, it's gold metallic dip with a dip in black to make a mocha brown color. I have been carving the candlefun way for about a year mostly unity candles. I taught myself about 6 years ago by surfing the web and watching people make them at craft fairs, etc. I was just fascinated with it and was determined to learn it. I know you will do great at festival. Are you going to carve there also? Best of luck!! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewOrleansLady Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I've never seen ones that light up like that...that is a work of art! You are truly an artisan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litefut Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thank you. The light in the bottom of the candle is a flora lyte. It just adds more light to the candle when you actually light it from the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I am new today however I am starting Candle Carving. What do you use for dipping vats? How do you heat them? Thanks for any advice Try asking in the general candle section. I know there are a few chandlers here who know a little about candle carving and can help you with that.
