Desertrose Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I thought I'd try and learn from some of you here and make my photo's a little more interesting by staging them with "stuff".Hope they look ok?Richard doesn't know I've taken these yet but I'm sure he'll be happy to share with you his jar fetish.Currently they are taking over the house (literally!) and it seems that he just can't make up his mind which to use!These are the current ones that have been tested but there are more yet to be trialed. One day he'll make a decision!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchenfairy Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I think they look really nice! Quick question though, where did you find the cookie jars? I'm looking for something similar for my bath scrub cubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertrose Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Here are some pillars and layered votives I've been working on.Some of them are a bit "out there" but oh well.......I like different, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertrose Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 The cookie jars are from a glass supplier here in Australia.I'd have to get Richard to tell you who they are.......he's becoming good friends with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertrose Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 We decided to do small melts in these preserving jars.At the moment we just get them from the supermarket and I grungy up the lids.I like them better in the jars than in the paper tin tie bags but it does make them a little more expensive for people to buy.

Kitn Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Oh my gosh , they are all gorgeous , I absolutely love the cookie jar candle . Very nicely done all of them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertrose Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Thank you! You don't think the pics are too buzy do you? I just grabbed whatever remnants of country decor I could find in the house - some of which are just junky "bits" we actually found in the outback! Geez, talk about rusty rustic stuff out there!

Trappeur Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi Tracy Wow, wow, wow! I just love all your fabulous creations! How inspiring! And your presentation is just so wonderful....You did an awesome job...Richard I'm sure is going to be blown away! Those little jars with the knob lid I just love and I love how you grungied the lids on the other jars too. You and Richard are surely the king and queen of the palm pillars. Your colors just never cease to amaze me Tracy. Beautiful job!!!!! Trapp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monvi33 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I agree with Trappeur...WOW WOW WOW. Those are fantastic and so creative. You guys do a wonderful job thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernadette Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Tracey, is there anything you and Richard touch that doesn't come out perfect?! I highly doubt it. If you lived over here, I'd go broke buying as much of your items as I could get! Absolutely wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertrose Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Thanks so much for all your kind and encouraging comments! Mistakes? lol! There are PLENTY of those.My biggest down fall is impatience. I can't begin to tell you how many pillars I have unmolded too soon and had wax dribble out when I've removed the wick pin.No salvaging those! (I really need to buy more molds so I don't get tempted to take the candles out too soon in my haste to make more!)Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samandkennasmom Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi Tracey!Well, I'm gonna have to agree with Trapp on this, holy crapper!! Everything is so awesome.

Dustpuuppy Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I love the pillars. I can't figure out how you can do those. Looks like they would be damned time consuming. They certainly look great, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertrose Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Glad you like 'em.Time consuming yes. Drives me bonkers waiting for each layer to set. I know they're not very country and certainly not prim but they're eye catching on the stall.Besides, I'd go nuts if all I could make were jars and melts.Shops are so safe.....that's all they want are jars and melts.Bugger them, I'll sell my hippy pillars at the markets!
