Dolcibugie Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hello from Italy! :smiley2:I want to show you some of the candles I make.The base and the pastry cream are made with paraffin and stearin, lighty scented with vanilla FO.I make every single fruit with my own hands, using mouldable soft wax. They are covered with candle varnish, which makes fruits shiny and hard.I know they are not as perfect as the one you can make in the US with the wax embeds you can buy. I envy you! You have such wonderful things to make your candles! I try to do the best I can with small resources.Anyway, I hope you like them!Greetings from Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scifichik Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Your candles are beautiful. I think they look like tiny works of art. Because you made the fruits by hand makes them even more impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolcibugie Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Many many thanx, you make me feel good! I was thinking about selling them on Etsy, but I know buyers are mainly Americans and shipping from Italy to US is very very expensive (almost 30 dollars!)...
