Sharon in KY Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Very nice love the swirls. And like everyone else I love the votive containers. They look like little milk jug to me, very pretty candles. Good job.I hate lavender but love vanilla and am really surprised at the scent the two together smells like. I just got one from NG Downy L&V and think I kinda like it. Do not like the ones I mixed or KY's, CW or several others but this one isn't bad.How do you do your swirls? I have tried the drop of color and then swirl but it just doesn't give a soft swirl. Next time I think I'll add to pour pot and then pour. Maybe that will work.

Stella1952 Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Sharon, I made the batch and scented it. Then I filled one pour pot with white and another one with a little DARK blue-purple. I poured ~ 2/3 full with white, let it start getting slushy, then circled with the dark color... waited a few moments until it began to get slushy, then more white. After that all got kinda slushy, I poked around in it a little with a bamboo skewer - kinda like you would with a marble cake or brownies...I never thought of that, but those votives DO look like those little cream pitchers that used to be used at fancy-schmancy restaurants! That lavendar-vanilla really surprised me as I am not real huge on lavender... I kept craving a pastry that would taste just like it smelled!

erinmfritz Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hi Stella, I agree with the lavander vanilla. Have you ever thought of lavander and lemon? I have a friend that wanted me to blend those two for a reed diffuser and WOW it smells great! I never would have guessed that it would smell so good. I don't care for lavander by itself but with the lemon, OMG it is good! Give it a try. Oh, by the way, your candles look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, by the way, your candles look great!Guess it's because I don't like lavender or the fact I had to use London lemon curd. But I hated the two together. Still have the two q-tips in a bag, just smell it again... yuck... I need a lemon drop kind of scent, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michi Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Very nice.I too don't really care for lavender, but LOVE me some CS's lavender vanilla. Hey, those little votive jars are darling, do they have a lid, or did you just put a label on top or is it cardstock? Whatever it is, I like it.
