Personalised Hurricanes

Hello again!

Since my order books are now open, I thought I would add a few more photos and a bit more information about my Personalised Hurricane candles.

My Hurricane wax shells, made out of high-melt temp paraffin wax. Hurricane candles are reusable and long lasting. You do not melt the wax shell itself, but a scented tealight placed inside the shell is what gets burned, so you can reuse the hurricane shell over and over again.

I'll be making these to order, so all I'll need from the person interested in ordering is the photograph they wish me to use emailed to me at jen@welshcandlecreations.co.uk , and the scent choice for their tealight which is included in the price.  The photograph needs to be of good quality and a reasonable size to be used, so I can adjust it as required.

To give a sense of scale I've taken a photo of the sample Hurricane I've made today with some of my scented tealights.  They're of an ordinary size that you'd find anywhere, so that should give you an idea of how tall these are.

And of course I have to show the Hurricane lit, I think it looks absolutely amazing and would be a beautiful addition to anybody's home.  Remember that these do not melt while in use if used properly, and if it's summer and you're not in a candle-burning mood - why not fill it with water and use it as a flower vase?  The wax is impermeable so it won't leak or damage the hurricane.

I hope this has helped clarify a bit more about my Personalised hurricanes.  If you're interested in ordering one, either get in touch with me via the email I provided above, find me through Facebook (facebook.com/welshcandlecreations) or I'm also on Twitter (twitter.com/welshcandles.

Christmas Luminaries

I'm due for another update!

I decided for this Christmas that I was going to do 4 different carving designs, embellished with a bit of bling and sparkle by including some rhinestones.  Most are tiny ones, but the ones on the Christmas Bells luminary are 3 red Swarovski rhinestone crystals which are just gorgeous.  I'm hoping to also do a range of 3 colors, including this rich red, will be deep blue and green, reminiscent of christmas baubles.

I'm generally pleased with how these have gone, though for the final 2 designs I did add too much PE22 to my white layers and it was hard to get the red & white layers separated so I'm going to have to do those ones again.  But overall I think they've gone well and I hope people will enjoy them !
