Scented Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 It has been an interesting adventure to learn how to make these. It will be fun teaching the class in Pennsylvania in a week. This one is made with sandalwood amber that is unfortunately no longer carried by ICS.Lavender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 So do I. More shows. I wish all that I put into the palm one showed up more, but I will need to play with that wax more if I decide to make it a regular in anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Those are pretty and unique. Never heard of wax bowls. Do you use them for anything other than decoration? Also, where are you teaching in PA? Would that be at Quakertown, PA at C&S by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Wax bowls are heavily scented and fragrance a room/home/space (supposed to). This is not an original idea. The person who makes wax pottery bowls does a remarkable job. This is quite different than the Martha Stewart bowls. I'm going to the Lights & Lather conference next weekend and we're doing a class on this.You could make unscented wax bowls to hold fruits and things. I saw that on one of the websites I visited, but the directions weren't there. I think it was a Home & Garden thing.

jluper7297 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Oh heck! I'd be interested in learning! DO IT!!!! Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbuddy Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Interesting! Since it's scented, do you have to put something underneath so the fragrance doesn't seep onto a table or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyTru Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I'm curious too. But I am in 90 degree weather and humidity and no air conditioner, so I don't think I'll be using one to decorate right now...lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyme1911 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Scented, are you using a silicone mold to make these? They are cool, do you make the spheres as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbuddy Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I saw these made somewhere with a blown up, dipped balloon. Does anyone remember that video or tut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) The dipped balloon globes were made by the absolute queen of luminaria, Donita. You could PM her for more information... or check out the list of tuts she has on her website http://www.donitalouise.com/tutorials.html Edited July 25, 2011 by Stella1952 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Scented, are you using a silicone mold to make these? They are cool, do you make the spheres as well?I need a 5" ball and a 4" ball for Corey to make me a mold that I want before I tackle the spheres.

Scented Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 I saw these made somewhere with a blown up, dipped balloon. Does anyone remember that video or tut?These aren't with the balloons though. The spheres are perfectly round. Balloons tend to distort some as I understand it.
