dayglow Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 The blue one I think I have the blue too dark for the colors of the chunks.The green one didn't mottle enough. Oh well... back to the drawing board... again. Thanks for looking. The egg shaped ones are made inside an eggshell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayglow Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 make the egg shaped candles. I got the directions from www.craftown.com/crafts/art2.htm The only hard part is getting a hole in the shell without breaking the whole egg. I only put a hole on the broad side, not through the whole thing. When it started to set, I put a string of wick in and laid it over the side. I did one repour to fill it up after it sunk a little and waited till it set all the way up and then cracked the shell off. Hope this helps.

sharyl55 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Printing out the instructions. Somehow I have a feeling it's a lot harder than that but will put it in my Easter file. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps.I wonder if you use a wicking needle (like used with rubber molds) and poke a hole at each end of the shell wick the shell and then plug one end with putty, would that work to get the wick in nice and straight? I'll have to try it, looks like a fun project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
