Miadrianel Candles Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Greeting everyone,Just posting my first ever attempts at cut and curl. Here are my first, second and fourth candles. 3rd was worthless. Please give constructive criticism!! I want to know how can I get better at this!They might look weird because I didn't use the proper pigments. those are black light reflective. The pics were taken under a blacklight so the colors stood out more on the pic. I'm using 2 empty coffee cans for vats third one for water and a small kitchen knife.I just wanted to try it and see. I dunno but, is it and addiction when you start ordering stuff to make more and better ones???First oneSecond one 4th one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 You can do that with 3 coffee cans and a kitchen knife! Image what you could do with some proper carving tools. I think they are amazing. Intricate, symmetrical...very good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricofAZ Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Excellent work. I recently got my hands on some cut/curl wax and plan on trying one of these this summer. Did you buy a carving set or makeshift carving tools from the kitchen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxxcandles Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Wow! Pretty impressive for first attempts. Did you use special wax and special carving tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I'd say they are pretty darn good for your first attempts. Love the black light effect. Makes awesome color! I actually thought the design of candle #3 was the prettiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miadrianel Candles Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 WOw, everybody thank you for the replies! When I started making them I was hoping to at least make one everyday I could to keep practicing. Unfortunately I haven't kept practicing. We've been so busy at the store that we get home late at night almost everynight. On my next order I'm gonna get better equipment. Some more pouring pots and the right pigments. Maybe the right carving tools tooTo my surprise I have been using the locally obtained wax and it seems to work just right. Thats just my opinion since I really don't know what to look for in a cut and curl wax but for now it's working. I will sure post more pics as soon as I make more. This is the most I enjoyed making candles in a while it sure was a different experience.Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnvyCandles Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'd say they are pretty darn good for your first attempts. Love the black light effect. Makes awesome color! I actually thought the design of candle #3 was the prettiest.I also think #3 was the most beautiful. Very delicate. I do not make cut n curl so I can';t give CC, but... I am not sure what you would need to improve, they look beautiful in the black light. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Bruce is back online so you'll have to talk to him, he is the cut n curl KING. Your candles are beautiful would never know it was your first time. We all need to be busy with orders, so good luck with that. But hope you find some time for more cut n curl cause you have a talent for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
