CraftyChris Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I think that your flowers are beautiful! You hand mold them?I do have a question about the candles in the terra cotta dish, the wick is along the side? Wouldn't that crack the terra cotta?

jes432 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I have the same curioustity about the terra cotta, but I have to also say they're all beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Lot of nice looking stuff here. I guess if the terra cotta were thick enough it wouldn't crack or break right? Guessing that the wick, as it burns, turns upright. Otherwise I could see it drowning out. Just say I'm curious here too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airforcewife Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 those are really pretty candles, I love the flowers. But I have one Question how do the candles in the teracotta holders burn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGirl Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 They kind of look like an old style of oil lamp? Either I've read somewhere (of course could be that my imagination is making it up) that people used to make lamps with animal fat and a cloth wick in shallow containers?? Anyone else every heard of that or am I channeling Little House on the Prairie.... Everything does look gorgeous -- and like a lot of work! I certainly don't have the patience for that sort of detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspencreek Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I think they look wonderful also but I have the same question as everyone else. How do they burn??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Wow that's beautiful stuff.I'm surprised everyone's worried about the terra cotta cracking versus catching on fire, lol. Hopefully it's well sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candle_sense Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 But I have one Question how do the candles in the teracotta holders burn?Well the terracotta you see above are out door hangers ( outdoor candles ) you can hang those terracotta diya ( as we call them in India ) with a jute thread - therefore the wick has to be thick, and sure the terracotta will not break, they are fired above 1000*C.And well all are handmade with the aid of molds.

smellywax Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Very nice...do you have access to waxes and molds in India...or do you have a hard time getting your supplies? Beautiful work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceCarvesWax Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I don't think were talking about "just" one candle maker here, they are manufactures... looks like a huge one too since 1995. Would be like Yankee coming here to post if you ask me. Didn't I just see someone come here and ask for a site where you could do a live candle chat... then post never mind they found one and posted a link to their web site... the same one these products are on??? I think the post was deleted as spam since I cant find it anymore. JMO Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
