dcroome2005 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 OK, I went over to Sharyl's yesterday and she taught me how to do this. Well she taught me better than I actually did it. LOL I think once I move, I will try with 2 colors instead of 5.. LOL As you can tell, I am have a LOT to learn about this. Thanks Sharyl for helping me!!! Had lots of fun even though we didn't catch the kitties!Please ignore the bowl that the pillar is in.. I have packed all my candle dishes away since we are moving!!! This is what I had available . lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm prejudice but I think it turned out pretty darn good. Now to see how that 2/0 SB wick burns. The pillar is 4045+stearic+translucent crystals. Tina, once you get to TN you are only a days drive from us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlesprite7 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I love it Christina! Looks ready for a party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Christina....nothing wrong with that beauty. I love it. Moving is the pits....but hopefully you are moving to a better house. I miss living near you and Sharyl. Sorry we didn't get to have a girl candle party.Why the crystals added to the wax? They tend to make my candle smoke. I haven't used them for years. I am curious to see how this works for you. I do love the 4045. Have some other IGI coming probably today:sad2: It's ok but not the same.Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think your candle looks great and I do like the idea of trying one using only 2 colors. You have the first one "under your belt" so now the sky is the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Donita, I added the crystals as a test. I used the same pot of wax to make a 4045 everlasting. I have been trying to come up with a way to make rustic everlastings where the wax doesn't melt around the tea light glass cup. Have burned one tea light and so far it looks OK. Will try a couple more before posting a picture. It turned out to be an ugly rustic but at least it is rustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Ok Sharyl....I see where you are going....not a burning candle but one that will withstand the heat. I don't know how much the mp will be raised with 4045 and still be able to be rustic. I think that the clear crystals will stop the rustic. But...still a thought to be considered. I am going to do an experiment.....one of these days (smile)....Any candle can be made to be an "everlasting" but it has to withstand the heat... if you actually want to have a flame.....(smile) ... That is why I have only used the 5055. To make a rustic.....now that is the question:) Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Donita, I have tried several with the 5055 and get a nice everlasting but no rustic. The challenges we face in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Everlasting test failed. The wick on my tea light floated a little to the side of the plastic cup and melted the side of the pillar. This was in a 3" pillar with a straight sided glass tea light holder. Back to the drawing board. Was an ugly rustic anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
