katinka Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Very very nice!!! They are elegant!Not that bad for invisible candles I suppose... I'd love to try some jars, but at this stage I am struggeling to find suitable ones in South Africa, so I'll just have to concentrate on these for a while!

Margaritamama Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Baie mooi Kersies Meisie!!!! (practicing again......)Very nice Katinka, I love the plain candles. I've been doing a few of those lately, scented Honey from Candlescience - I just love that scent.What FO did you use for your candles??I'd love to try some jars, but at this stage I am struggeling to find suitable ones in South Africa, so I'll just have to concentrate on these for a while!You can always use the jars that are used for home preserves and jamming. Those are similar to the mason jars used here in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are similar to the mason jars used here in the US.Thanks for the compliment! I have been using very plain spa like scents - Frangipani, Vanilla, Green Tea, Lemongrass, Ylang-Ylang, Neroli. This is the once I could find from a guy who imports them from France for a SA perfumery, so they are all very soft. I did my first ones with Candelscience Clean Cotton and Pearberry last night, and I must admit that there is a marked difference in the scent throw - WOW, yours is so much nicer! I can see where all my money is going to go! This forum is very helpful to identify the bigger suppliers - being in SA makes it kinda difficult to choose.

sharyl55 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Your pillars look perfect for a spa. And the dark band for a label does look elegant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtngrl Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I like how you did your layers, w/ the thin band of color at the bottom.. Egads! it's a label & not a layer? Well, I bet it won't be too long before we see some candles w/ thin layers of color at the bottom. Very striking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
