ChandlerWicks Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 It looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The swirl does look GREAT, but what's the sparkly stuff on the surface? Is that glitter? If it is, I SURE hope it's glitter for candles and not regular craft glitter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't someone may have to beat me with a stick. heehee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella1952 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I've been doing this for almost 20 years.Sorry, but that isn't something that shows with a member's name, so I asked my question because...If it wasn't someone may have to beat me with a stick.Wouldn't beat you with a stick, but I would have made sure you knew the difference. I think the finish looks lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnj Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 That is absolutley beautiful!! I love you label too I'd love to see a pic of it burning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 There is a video with sound of this burning on Facebook...it's on Bitter Creek's page. If you want, friend them and check it out. It sounds great! Burns wonderful too! I am super thrilled with the wood wicks in 6006! I did find that I had to follow my own path in determining wicking though since it doesn't burn like a single pour paraffin or a soy. LOL It's all good though and burns great!

EnvyCandles Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I recently had trouble with swirling in my containers... care to share any tips? The slight swirl is beautiful. At first my swirls looked great, but as they cooled everything kind of mixed together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Absolutely! I just did a blog post with instructions yesterday for our blog at work. You are welcome to check them out: http://bittercreekcandle.blogspot.com/2011/09/holiday-swirl-candles.html If you have any questions, just let me know. I did another one last night in the Spiced Cranberry that I let get a little cooler. It is more two toned with some swirl. Kinda fun. You probably didn't cool the wax quite enough if they migrated. I used 6006 for this one and waited until it was starting to look a little hazy to pour. It was at the beginning stage of congealing.

I do all their Tech Support. But I have been making candles and bath products for closer to 20 years. I own and operate my own candle and bath company as well.
