nanchris Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 You know how you have all these little containers with bits of wax in them, well I gathered all mine up, melted them all together, added some black dye, took the wire brush to my finished candle. I think it's kinda cool looking. Doesn't smell great with all that mixture but I'll hang on to it awhile then toss it. I guess I was just bored...lol:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle Man Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Really looks great.I wire brush all the time. It really works for those not so perfect pillers, the wire brush will cover most any imperfections, which saves having to re-melt it down.

Everito Bandito Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Best looking job of wire brushing on a candle that I ever saw. :smiley2: I love seeing clever and practical being put together to make a fine finished product. I really like the outcome. I used to have a real rooster that looked very similar to yours. His name was Billy Jack...that was years ago. Still love rooster stuff.

Sally Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 That's cool, I'll use the wire brush to "rough up" a big rustic pillar I made a while ago. The bottom layer got poured too hot & is too smooth looking.Sally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 WOW I really like that, it goes perfectly with your decor!! The raffia and beads give it that little somethin' extra, and makes me want to try my hand at pillars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
