Candle Kitty Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 WOW, ALAN I LOVE THIS BOARD!!! So incredibly clean and fresh!Okay, now that I'm done ooh'ing and aah'ing over it, time to move on.Yeah, been a while since I posted anything, I haven't actually been in the kitchen that much. Took a week off to do nothing and I think it did me some good, though my apartment is still a wreck. My first candle after my hiatus was for me, just me. The FO's used was French Vanilla and Leather, 9 x 3 pillar. Two ounces total of FO if I'm not mistaken, notebook not near me. Ivory IS mottled, the black wasn't. And it was exactly the effect I was going for.If this wasn't an indication that I need to get back and create my candle art, nothing will.Thanks for looking and please, I need feedback!CK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I'm confused...if they came out exactly as you wanted, what do you need feedback on? LOL Love the ivory mottled! What a pretty mottle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Kitty Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Uh, because I'm silly that way?? LMAONo, this is something completely different for me, I was attempting two different techniques on one candle and both I've never done before. I knew how to do them in theory but since it was a first, critiques aren't bad in my book.Edited: Because my grammar on my last post would have gotten me arrested by the grammar police!

Scented Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I think they look pretty good I might of sandwiched the lacey look between the black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Kitty Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Oh now oooh, hey, Scented, you just gave me an idea, I've still got some black wax left over (I overdid it just a little)....Probably have enough for a 6''..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 LOL! I didn't mean to be rude when I was confused, just not sure what to give you feedback on!I like Julie's idea, but I would go opposite and put the ivory on the outsides with the black in the middle...

Candle Kitty Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Didn't take it as being rude, hon. Was actually a question I didn't ask myself until after I saw you post it ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!All these ideas for this candle are FABULOUS, THANKS LADIES!!!!Guess that means I have to order more Vanilla and Leather from Peak's. Oh darn............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topofmurrayhill Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I love these. Beautiful candles, excellent name and concept, very inspired all around. How's the combination of scents working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 that mottling on the ivory is gorgeous. I really don't care much for the black though, it's in too much contrast i think. I like trish's idea although i would lighten that black up some to maybe a smokey gray and try to do that part with a frosty rustic look and keep the ivory sections mottled. Not asking for much now am i LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet68cam Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I like those very nice!! You did a great job on that mottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairieannie Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 ohhhhhhhh Candle Kitty, I'm sorry but those look like beautiful mottled candles that got dipped in INK! I really don't like them at all. The color and motteling of the top is just beautiful, but to me it's definately beauty and the beast. ** Dodging the flying presto pots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Another thought is the mottled lacey look with thin lines of black through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Another thought is the mottled lacey look with thin lines of black through them.I think that would be a great idea too. I just don't care for the harsh contrast. The "lace" looks awesome ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 You know what else would look cool?? Instead of black, do a dark brown (leather is brown too!) and that dark brown would go so nice with the ivory mottled, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montecosmo Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 The contrast between the black and the mottled top is wicked. I just love it.Stacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
