Glow Diva Candles

Keepsake Candle

This is my first "photo candle" - I used a picture taken of Rhiannon with her cousins this summer. The image is embedded into the wax. I made red chunks, then filled in with white wax. I really wanted to try this technique, so I bought just a pound of paraffin wax, since I ordered a lot of wax and am still waiting for it to arrive. Anyway, there wasn't enough wax, so I had to remove some of the red chunks and remelt them and had *just* enough. So, it turned out that I did my first two-tone candle at the same time! I can't wait to get my shipment of wax, so I can make a couple more. This one has a few blemishes, but it still turned out pretty good for a first try. I need to work on my photography skills while I'm at it, because these pictures just don't capture the true candle.
