Think I've found a bargain and.....

[Mallard]

An improvised mould for spell candles (I don't cast many spells, bat's blood is very difficult to get nowadays ) but they're expensive to buy, so....
Light blue for tranquility, they're in the freezer now, then I'll test my home made gadget to make a pointy end!

[Mallard]

Rubbish results!

[Annie]

Not rubbish just not what you were aiming for - still bet you had fun trying.

[p.penn]

I agree with Alex and Annie - I am very impressed. I didn't understand what was wrong with the witches hat brim either- looked good to me!

[dingdong]

love the colour of these. I think they look fab

Amazing candles mallard, nothing like a bit of candle magic and made all the more powerful if you've made your own candles me thinks

I'm wondering if you could tailor make them depending on what they would be used for, maybe by adding just a chip or two of the corresponding crystal, a pinch of the right herb/root, maybe a drop of the correct oil etc and this could be put right at the bottom of the candle so it doesn't effect the way it burns and then maybe a small ribbon tied around it in the corresponding colour. you could sell them as spell candles or tailor make them for loved ones in need...just an idea I thought i would share

I've been thinking along the herbal route as I've a herb bed on the allotment and intend to expand it this season. I also have a good collection of essential oils which can be added to wax. I need to get more wax dyes, although there was quite a few in the kit!
Green ones for financial gain etc, but at my age I'll steer clear of the red ones!

This morning I received a very useful copy of Candle makers News!

Ok! I've just lit some candles, including a green one, I trust she will be rewarded!

Thank you Mallard for 'The Essential Allotment guide' As soon as this weather dries up a bit and I start having a day off I shall get myself up to the allotment. I can't wait, I want to plants some hops

[bluebell]

Gosh, sounds like a few of us have had gifts this week

Mallard your candles are lovely. When you say spell candles are these used by pagans or white witches - excuse my ignorance, I am C of E

I expect you can walk on stilts then?

Yes, that's right!

These have come out pretty well, my pal George is making a frugal heater similar to mine, and gave me some wax "fork handles"
