Moai Candle - any takers?

Hey folks, would anyone have any interest in one of these candles I made? Now, they're not perfect, but they're kind of cool. . I hope that picture works!

Thanks!

It will explain how to diplay your photo here on TC, and it's really not to difficult. I'd really like to see your Moai candle!

Huh. Musta burned out.

Hey guys and gals, Rocknrollgirl and I have several of the candles she made around our aparetment. She's just starting out as the Moai candle maker, so they aren't as good as the ones that you would pay 25 bucks for, but they're still pretty darn cool. I'll see if I can't get a photo of one and post it up.

Those are pretty nice, RnR Girl. Did you make the mold yourself, or is it off the shelf? I used to make sand candles with driftwood & shells when they were cool back in the 70's. Just melt some parafin, throw in some crayons, dig out a shape in the sand w/ legs, & you're in business. Ah, memories! :music: If you like pina coladas... :music: Gettin' caught in the rain...

Ah-Ha! This is the first time I've seen them in wax. Good work! I bought a couple of the molds last year, but then realized how expensive bulk wax was, and figured most people would never burn them anyways, so I cast in Plaster. The real trick of making the candles must come from getting the seem smooth, huh? Plaster is waaaay more forgiving, as you can sand it smooth and cover with the base coat.

RocknRollGirl,

You've made candles, what music do you like?
