Trappeur Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) The last 2 days I have been busy making candles for myself - all crystal of jars I have been saving up for a rainy day to do and now I have them done. Lots of pictures. These are very big diameter candles. The beige vintage crock is 8" diameter. The little green votive I tried my hand at rubbing gold mica on it....was ok...need to perfect it. Thanks for looking. Trappeur Edited February 1, 2019 by Trappeur 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Gorgeous!! Glad you are doing something for yourself!! I like the mica on the wax. It's beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura C Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Oh wow @Trappeur, everything is so pretty. I love crystal/cut glass jars like that and I'm really into candle embeds right now. That looks like it was so much fun. I need to get busy again in my candle workshop and get creative. I see you and the cats are already enjoying them.

YellowButterfly Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Absolutely beautiful! I'm so glad you're up and moving about, too. Your decor reminds me so much of my Nanny & PawPaw's house in Arkansas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 I had forgotten to include these pictures. See TTayle's Craftserver Christmas ornament there? That piece is so very personal to me and I have to thankyou again Tall Tayle for the reason you made it. God help the person who ever picks it up and drops it and breaks...They are in big trouble if that ever happens....which it won't... I got a new embed mold in of Holly Leaves and that is what is on this large crystal jar. I love this acorn embed This is my latest embed - a holly leaf. Now in this picture my sister gave me the elk mug years ago which I refilled. I love as you all know anything nature inspired and have a huge huge fetish for anything in pine cones, t shirts, accessories, of course candles, bedding etc. Those are red salt and pepper shakers in the picture. And see my little pine cone houres derves * forek? spelled wrong", withe the pine cone handle....lol I bought the green votives at Family Dollar for a dollar and they were already decorated. Not bad for $1.00 each. I tried my hand at gold mica on this $1.00 votive.....ha ha ha I filled these jars with Bayberry and Silver Oak (Flaming). One of my new favorite scents. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I love looking at your crystal jars Trapp! They are beautiful and so inspiring! My favorite is the green bowl, but the tall jar is magnificent as well! I love that you are experimenting with mica! And new embeds! It all looks fantastic! ❤️❤️❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeek!!! I blew up the picture of the supposed spider. I think it is just the way the evergreen material attached to the holiday jar is pictured over the underlying doily which appears to be spider legs.😂😂😂🐛 🐜 🐞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh...THAT spider...lol...I I thought you meant the first picture of the second series which very much appears to be a huge spider in the lower left hand corner. I never noticed the spider attached here that you were referring to.😀😀😀😀😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
