 You don't have to love Game of Thrones to appreciate these cool candles.  But it doesn't hurt.  This project would work well with any thin mold that has a raised figure.It was interesting how these came about.  I found these molds over 6 months ago and thought they would make neat melt and pour soaps.  But they were so thin that I didn't think they would really work.  Then awhile ago I gave a class and someone dumped in 3oz of Dragon's Blood in just 8oz of Golden Wax 464.  WAY too much scent since only .3oz is needed for...

Accidents Happen.  Mistakes Should NOT.  This candle was dropped in a water bath.  The wax exploded out.  Luckily I was wearing protective clothing.  Here are some simple rules to follow to stay safe.  Sometimes I feel like such a Negative Nellie.  Or a candle making Debbie Downer.  I love candle making and I just love seeing what other artists are up to by visiting various blogging communities.  When I comment I try very hard to say something positive.  But I have to tell you that after tonight's look around at the current top rated candle making blogs I am really...

So, I need a candle wick... Sorry if I smile a little every time someone walks through the door with that request.  For the non-candle maker the common thought is that you simply stick a wick in some wax and poof you have a candle.  I wish it were that simple.  But then I would probably be out of a job.  You may get lucky and the wick may burn, but more than likely it will either drown itself or at the other extreme it will result in a torch of a flame.  Hobby shops and a lot of candle...
