Candles and Quilts

[misstakenid.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone. This is one thing I havn't seen posted here so I thought I'd share. Been candle making for maybe 8 years now...took a little break for a few years while away at school but have got back into it again. I use everything from store bought moulds to yogurt containers and as many as 4 wicks per candle. Enjoy


Candles made this week:
Large Round. These two are about 5 or 6" high and about 5" in diameter. Made with drink mix containers so that should help you with size. First one has 2 wicks, second has 4.


Star candle. About 7 or 8" high and 3" across widest point. Store bought mould.


Large square. about 4x4" square. Store bought mould.


Yogurt container candles. About 3x3"


Mini yogurt candles. About 1.5x2"...the size of a petite danone.




These are all candles made years ago when I first started making.

Yogurt Container Candles


Dixie Cup Candles



And here's a quilt front I put together this week as well to use up some of my sewing scraps (very good at getting the quilt fronts and backs made but never actually quilting the 2 pieces together...so I've gotta get on top of quilting the 4 quilts I have sitting around :S):
