LuminousBoutique Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 love them! I bought this mold but I'll be making my own in a few weeks because these are too skinny to fit in a standard taper candle holder, so a PITB to burn and likely even more of a headache to try and market to customers. They are beeswax and burning beautifully though.. I overwicked a tad not knowing about the knobs burning evenly and I think I made the right decision for my first go.. no flickering, but flame is a bit large, so smaller next time around and we'll see how those burns go. Overall, cute little candles! Now the challenge will be hunting down branches that are the appropriate thickness for a standard candlestick, and straight enough... oh how the neighbors will talk, lol:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernadette Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 They look great! How tall are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 6", and 5/8" dia- pretty small for tapers but cute! I'm going hunting for better branches with my kids this weekend and I'm going to start a series I think.. need to order more silicone though, I had some I bought over a year ago, opened the lid and went to mix some today to do a small cast of a little owl I have, and it was rock hard in the bottles, lol.. woops. Guess it doesnt have a long shelf life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuminousBoutique Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 thanks! Wish we had birch trees around here, those would make pretty candles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Brown ones!anyone think people might like them in green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernadette Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 The brown looks great, Luminous. I only make green when someone asks for them. They don't sell very well. I'll make any color if requested, but most people purchase in different shades of brown. That's been my experience anyway. Brown, and the white birch whick requires some additional work.

LuminousBoutique Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Yeah sounds about right- They would be pretty cute in rainbows of colors but that would be a very specific buyer, hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
