dcroome2005 Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Great palm pillar! I don't think that you should wick up on this one. Palm wax can be a little tempermental. If you wick up' date=' you may have a blow out! Try burning this one all the way down and you should be left with a shell. I wish I knew how to copy and paste a pic, I would show you the pic I posted of my granite pillar and how it burned. Maybe you could do a search of this forum to see the pic. Anyway, it's a wonderful candle----and have a nice vacation.:smiley2:[/quote']Thanks Smokin.. I will burn it all when I get back. And take a pic and show I actually prefer a thicker shell when it comes to this wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrysoaper Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 what a gorgeous color!! is that palm wax? I just love the feathered effect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin'Hot Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 No Everito! That is not the pic I was referring to! If you read the post that those pics were attatched to, you will find that those particular candles were made from the feather wax. These are the pics I was referring to. This is the granite wax. I sure hope you weren't trying to be a smart a** with your post as this would make me look as if I were giving bad advice or suggestions.

Pam W Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 You really are making some beautiful candles with your palm wax. I can tell that you are enjoying working with it. When we were kids here in the south, we used to find these little funnel like holes in the ground, they would often be around barns and farm buildings. The sides of this downward sloping conelike hole would be of a loose sand consistentcy. At the bottom of the hole just under the dirt, was where the doodlebug was hanging out waiting for an ant or whatever that stepped into his trap to slide to the bottom.We as kids would take a small twig or a stiff blade of grass and knock a bit of the sand to the bottom to see if we could get the doodlebug to move. If he did, we would try to get him to latch on to it with his little pinchers.We used to have some kind of little rhyme, like a chant or song that we would say whilst we were messing with this poor creature.(we didn't have nintendo...lol.) For the life of me I can't remember how it went.....well, there's a whole lot that I can't remember these days.Anyway, funny thing that such a beautiful candle would make an old guy remember his childhood. Well, at least halfway remember it...Absolutely Gorgeous work there, bubblegum doodlebug. OMG, it's been a life time since I thought of that little song...doodlebug, doodlebug you better come out your house is on fire. Can't remember much of it either. We stirred the hole with a twig & let the bugs crawl around in the palm of our hands, then put them back in the hole. Thanks for the memory.BTW: gorgeous candle Christina.

My mistake (I was trying to be helpful and in my haste, I did not read it correctly - You are right, I was wrong) and I very,very, humbly apologize. I did say "maybe" :embarasse--- please forgive me, I didn't intend to do harm. Thank - you for covering my goof-up PS. to Pam - you are most welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin'Hot Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 No problem Everito! Sometimes it's hard to tell if someone if being sarcastic or not on these message boards. Thank you and of course your apology is accepted. :smiley2: Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lugnut Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 That wax always makes nice candles but the color makes it even better. Like Eugenia said, may need to wick up a bit but otherwise its real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
