judyvega Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Made these for my mom. Wicking is a straight out pita for me on black raspberry vanilla, though, so we'll see what happens w/that. I can't get the true color of the candles to show, and believe me, I've tried lol, but the shades that show up bluish in the pics are actually plum color. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmpressC Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Very nice indeed! I want to make rustic candles. May I ask, are you using more than one color here? Or is the rustic look achieved due to the initial covering of the mold? (Hope that makes sense. )EmpressC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hope that makes sense. )EmpressCI'm not QUITE sure what you're asking.....um, I am using three separate colors, white and two shades of plum, but they are layered - are you maybe thinking of draped layers? If you have any questions, let me know and I'll try to help ya Thanks everyone else - and Vicky - I got my pillar holder on clearance for five bucks! Yippee! Too bad there was only one!

kalamazoo Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Those are absolutely gorgeous. Love the colours and the rustic effect. I am trying my hand at rustics but they are no where near as beautiful as this. Would you mind telling me what temp your poured these at and what additives, if any, you used. Thanks. Sarah.

Too bad there was only one!Hi, thanks for the clarification. I could see the 2 shades of plum but I wasn't sure if the white was just part of the rustic effect or if it was part of the entire candle.Is the white sort of poured on an angle or something? (I can see I need to do a lot of playing around to get a better idea of how to achieve certain looks.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
