Brat Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 These are pretty ugly, especially the short pillar in the back. I was bumped (bad puppy!) while doing the second pour, so the wax went along the shrunken edges. Anyway, I just love the look! Never knew brown and blue made green... kinda neat! Quote
Chickie1st Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Those are really pretty, love the green you got. I just love the feather wax! edited to say you can lightly scrape off that repour Quote
dcroome2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I like them.. Love the look you got with it.. And I am in love with this wax :-)Christina Quote
Brat Posted November 30, 2005 Author Posted November 30, 2005 Here's a pic of the votive burning... it even looks cool when it melts! Quote
smellywax Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 very pretty...where did you order the wax from...and what size wicks/type did you use? Quote
SatinDucky Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I love the looks of the feathering wax. I've only used the crystal. Just a thought.. have you tried gently trimming off the spilled overpour? I don't know if it would work as well with that kind, but mine seems to. I just rub my finger over the trimmed area real well afterwards and it kinda polishes it. Probably wouldn't work too well on a large area, but does great for small ones. Quote
Brat Posted November 30, 2005 Author Posted November 30, 2005 I used Natural Crystal Palm Wax from http://shop.candlesandsupplies.com/candles/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Candles&category%5Fname=All%2DNatural+Waxes&product%5Fid=WAX%2DCP . The wicks are LX 12 in the votives, LX 24 for the pillar. UPS just dropped them off this afternoon, so I HAD to try it! Since the pillar is just a tester, I might try to scrape it off, but when I make the real ones, I'll make sure puppy dog is in another room. Thanks for looking everyone! I think I might start using this wax more.. it's just so pretty! Quote
joyofsoycandle Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Were they scented? if so how was the scent throw? i am interested in that wax, but hear they are a bugger for scent throw lol they are very pretty! nice job! Quote
AnitaG Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I'm going to have to try that wax. Nice job Quote
Brat Posted November 30, 2005 Author Posted November 30, 2005 I scented it Creme de la Creme, and I had given one to a woman at work. After she had it lit for a while, I smelled it before I got to her office, but it smelled slightly different than it did in the bottle. Seems to be good! Quote
Mtngrl Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 ... I just love the look! Never knew brown and blue made green... kinda neat!Must be a lot of yellow in brown. Good to know! What I like most about the color is that it's a perfect shade to show the patterning of the palm. What I don't like is the color ... it's ever so faintly too muddy, even though it's just a tad, for my liking. I also think it has a bit of potential w/ some experimenting - blue, yellow, toothpick dipped in brown. Look forward to seeing more of your pillars. Quote
Smokin'Hot Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Those look really great! I am a BIG fan of the granite wax. During my Christmas show last week, I featured a 4 x 6 granite pillar with 3 different colors. People went crazy for it! I had 10 orders just for that particular candle! Besides the really cool look of it, it is so easy to use! Quote
Vanmala Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Very unique looking and I love that color of green Quote
