SteveinPA Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 These are the first candles I've sold- somebody ordered them in these colors and style. I didn't bother to take pictures of the other ones- they were just plain pillars. I gave a pillar to Joy's neighbor a while ago, and she thought she should take some to work and sell them for me. I finally agreed. She sold one of the samples and got orders for five on the first day. Left to right: Warm Apple Pie, Lilac, and Grandma's Kitchen. She wanted two of them colored deep red-hope this is what she had in mind. All are made with 4045H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveinPA Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Of course I've been testing. LOL . My apartment has been smelling great for quite a while. Switched to 4045H from 1343 several months ago and haven't found much of a difference in wicking requirements. dcroome, I'm in Lancaster Co.

Sherie Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Beautiful pillars Steven! Are those marbled or mottled? To my tired eyes, they look marbled. Either way, they are just beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatinDucky Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 They rather look like a smooth/shiny rustic type. Very pretty! I love both colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon WY Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I really like that shade of red. That looks like the style you get with draping:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveinPA Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 I really like that shade of red. That looks like the style you get with draping:)Thank you. I hope the person who ordered them like that shade of red. She wanted them deep red, and that's what I came up with. Yes, they were done by draping the layers. Poured a little in the mold, tilted and swirled it a few times, and repeated until it was full. I like doing them this way- some of the line patterns turn out pretty cool.

sharyl55 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Another set of awesome pillars Steve. :highfive: Sure looks like all you testing has paid off. You've convinced me to try some 4045H wax when I start experimenting with pillars. When are you going to start marketing your 'thang'?

You've convinced me to try some 4045H wax when I start experimenting with pillars. When are you going to start marketing your 'thang'?Thanks I really like the 4045H-pillars don't seem to bulge at the top like they do with 1343, and it holds more scent. As far as the "thang", I'm hoping to apply for a patent soon. Then they will officially be for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3-boys-4-me Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Your candles are gorgeous. I just posted a question about the 4045 wax. I read the description at Candlewic but am confused as to if additives are needed with this wax. If you don't mind my asking, do you use vybar or stearic? Thanks so much and again...your candles are beautiful! Wonderful job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
