NEW Hurricane shells

[Guest guest]

kathleen,

just took a peek at your new creations. they look really neat!

i don't know much if anything about candle making but are these

the ones that have the harder shells that tend to not melt with the

rest of the candles? if so, i've seen these done in some really

creative ways lately.

 

we live very close to an amish community called jamesport here in missouri.

this little town is really a tourist trap but a nice one. full of antique

shops, candle shops and scattered with alot of amish shops. several

of the candle shops have these and what they've done is mount a light

socket with a cord in them. then they take a light bulb, oh i'd say about

the size of a small chandler light (or the large christmas bulb lights)

and dip the tip of it in

some thing like a rubber cement or hot glue gun glue, let it hang

upside down for a minute and then

flip it to make it look like a candle effect. these are then put in the

socket to give it

a candle like appearance. the effect is very nice and you don't have to

worry about the

open flame of a tea light.

 

also, i just picked up some cling art clear film sheets that is put out

by crayola.

with this stuff you can creat and print your own cling art. wonder if

you could

use this idea to create a stain glass effect with your hurricanes also?

just some thoughts on a saturday morn.
