...new pictures. I just couldn't let the soy candles be misrepresented like that. I think these pictures show the quality of the wax a little better, and the creamy, natural texture of the candles. I just wish you could smell these...especially that vineyard candle. I made that one to match my MIL's house. I was looking for something a little art-deco that would match her grape theme.
I was very impressed at how well the cappuccino candle came out. Paraffin would not have blended that smoothly--I would have been left with clumps and my colors would have run together.
As you can see in the container candle, soy also tends to be a little softer than paraffin. I didn't do a repour on that one, which is why there is the gap near the wick. Paraffin would have caved in the center, so this is evidence of the better quality of soy. I should also note that I'm using soy for molds and not containers, but it's working OK so far. I'm not sure my budget can handle a 4th type of wax just yet...

do you love candle making as much as you love accounting?
:) Hi! Thanks for inviting me!
Hmmm...I'll go with, my right brain loves candle making as much as my left brain loves accounting. How's that for an on-the-fence answer?
;-)
I am incredibly impressed!! Once you have an inventory built, you should start selling them on Etsy! (www.etsy.com)
