RichardLOZ Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Don't you just love the versatility of palm wax. So many different effects from the one type of wax. They look great. Now the enjoyable part - the testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daves'sHomemade Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Took a while to make......most of a day, but really enjoyed the challenge. To date I had only used paraffin (votives, tarts and containers) with excellent success. I have to admit it was your pillars Richard that led me to trying palm. Many many different effects / results so far. Pillars made without layers and cooled, wrapped in towels and covered by a box, had the most wonderful crystalline designs. The layered ones a totally different look. The first ones burned great with just a bit of tunneling. Went up one wick size and have found a good match. Yes I am enjoying the wonders of Palm. thank you all for the knowledge and insight and inspirations to try different techniques and ideas. I really appreciate all I have gotten here on the board.

RichardLOZ Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hey Dave, glad you have been inspired by looking at some of our stuff, however the credit for the pillars must go to my darling wife. She is the creative half of this team, while I do the testing and calculating type things, as well as pour jars. Guess we are pretty well balanced like that.

Desertrose Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I see you've been playing Dave Really nice colours there. Very peachy!Isn't it just the greatest wax to experiment with?At first I was a bit disappointed because I thought paraffin gave you more creative scope, but I'm happy now that I've learned just some of it's characteristics.Best thing about it for us here with the incredible heat is that I can leave my palm pillars outside on a table (undercover) and they won't end up looking like the leaning tower of Pisa after a 40 degree day!

smart Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I like them alot I wish I could make those what do you think of the palm wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daves'sHomemade Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 I like the Palm wax. Have only used paraffin to date (Votives, Containers, Tarts) prior to these Pillars. Now I am playing with the Palm for Pillars and the GG Palm for Containers. It's different! I like it all. Just another way to spend all my money testing and learning. Still have not tried anything with soy...............Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
