Limited Edition Missoni Candle

September 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Thanks to Vie from Vie Couture’s blog I found this beautiful limited edition Missoni candle. Burning time is apparently up to 80 hours.
If you’re a big Missoni perfume fan you might not mind dropping $150 for this pretty candle. Price not so pretty. I do love the cheerful colors.
Striped candles aren’t that hard to [...]

Toilet Paper Tube Pillar Candle

September 8, 2008 | 2 Comments

I don’t know why this never occurred to me before. I’m sure it has been done but I used a toilet paper roll tube as a mold for a small pillar candle.

Double Wicked Seashell Sand Candle

September 7, 2008 | 2 Comments

I got the seashell sand candle idea from Bob Sherman’s Candle Making book.
It’s one of the most detailed and informative books I have read on candle making.  He’s a well known candle maker and has been at it since 1971.
The only drawback to the book is that it doesn’t have much information on vegetable waxes. [...]
