Gel Candle Help

[arianfire.livejournal.com]

Im making shit loads of gel candles for xmas (just bought a 25 pounder of Penreco) and I was wondering what kinda embeds are safe. i checked sites and they say no wood no plastic yadda yadda but my bf was playing around with them while i was at work and realized he could put patches in there with no problem... I cant find any glass embeds (like, for example...the fishies or dolphins for the sea scapes) I tried Joanns, Michaels, Crafts n Stuff...etc. Also, Ive been tryin to find solid color opaque marbles for a candle im making and I cant find any..tried the craft shops, walmart, even the dollar stores...I thought "well, maybe if i buy a chinese checkers game I can homebug them outta there..but the only chinese checker games i found didnt have the marbles they had little pegs instead. And last but not least...anyone know where I can get beeswax sheets not ONLINE...I mean, online is fine if i absolutely have to, but i figured since xmas is right around the corner Id like to have everything asap... Errr, i knom im missing something....arghhhh dont u hate it when that happens?
