Studio Photo Tour of Clay's Craft & Candle Creations

Part of my work area. Where I keep most of my supplies and use the counter space to pour candles.

Supply drawer ~ Contains votive molds, fragrance oils, & skewers.

Supply drawer ~ Contains scale, dye chips, liquid dye, & color blocks.

Supply drawer ~ Contains wicks, wick dots, mold seal, hammer, screw driver, & chisels.

Pouring area.

This is where I do most of the pouring & I also use this space to measure my wax.

Melting area ~ Double Boiler Method

This is where I have been taking most of my photos for new products. It's just a sheet draped over the bookshelf right next to a window. The natural light helps take better pics.

My work table. This is where I label & wrap all of my products after they are photographed & posted on the computer.

Wrapped votive candles waiting to be sold.

 

 

 

Thanks for visiting :)))

Candle Making ~ Before and After

I thought it might be interesting to show before and after pics of a homemade candle. Before I taught myself to make candles, I had no idea what went into a candle.

Two 8oz jelly jars wicked. Creamy Cocoa fragrance oil & mahogany dye chip will be added to 1lb paraffin wax blend.

 

 

 

Here the wicks are tied to pencils. The pencils are held to the sides of the jars with mold sealer.

Melting the granulated wax.

The wax has been dyed, scented, poured, & cooled. Wicks trimmed.. and.. Ta da! Two completed 8oz creamy cocoa jar candles!!

 Let me know what you think :)
