Hammered Paraffin Pillar Candle!

O.K. for this this one I used the same wax as some of the other ones. It is Mulberry scented. I used a ball pen hammer and just kept hammering the candle with a very light touch from different directions. This would be great to do on a boring candle you already have at home! Some candles just need a new look!

Layered Paraffin Pillar Candle!

This candle is a kelly green layered paraffin pillar candle. I made this one for a friend as well. For each layer I added just a bit more color and the two middle layers I poured a bit cooler than the top and bottom layer to give it a rustic look. This is not one of my better candles though- I accidentally dropped it when I took it out of the freezer and it has a little ding on it at the bottom. Luckly I did not damage the mold!!! Once a mold is dented it is trashed! I had to cool it down a bit so it would release from the mold. I am always amazed at how many variations there are when making a candle!

Paraffin Pillar Candles!!!

I made these for a friend using some Mulberry scented/colored wax. The one on the left is a basic pillar candle and then I tapped it using a ball pen hammer to create the indention's. I love this look!! The one on the right is made with the same wax but I poured the the first layer at a very cool temperature (which is the top of the candle) and remelted the wax and poured a second layer. I like the variation in texture between the two layers!
