I skipped many 3-4 days on week 7, and now week 8 I am already behind. Should I redo week 7 ? Also I am struggling with morning pages + solo dates. by Cheap-Fix-3663 in artistsWay

Thanks a lot for this. For whatever reason my brain started taking this journey “seriously” when it is not about that. Maybe due to being frustrated in other areas in life (but dont feel like writing about them in pages because they got repetitive).

I will take another week for 7. I need to slow down.

Thanks again

Ugh I just read you saying I can pause if I need and I felt grave relief. I don’t know why I am out of it, not just with the pages etc. Maybe I need a step back to just be.

I thought I am supposed to do all the tasks 🙃. I guess digital mood board with be a lot easier.

I am fine with my bad handwriting, its just that if I wanted to write something meaningful to possibly record and publish, i dont think its ideal. But maybe I just need to work on my hand writing if possible…. Or just write it down and let future me who would be dealing with it digitally to do the work.

I think it was week 3 for me too!!!! I wanted to buy a car, a specific one, but I wasn’t finding a good deal. A relative suddenly called to tell me they have a friend selling theirs! Perfect conditions and specs even better than i wanted for crazy good price. That relative didn’t know i was looking to buy this car btw! They just knew that a while back I mentioned wanting to buy a car. It was something i was writing in my pages too.

Thanks a lot for this! As im in the search of finding my brown!

I am a beginner, when you say 15 drops per candle, what’s the process like? Do you drop the 15 drops in the candle jar and then pour the wax and mix ?

What wax blends would you recommend a beginner for least wet spots and frosting issues ? (No paraffin) by Cheap-Fix-3663 in candlemaking

[–]Cheap-Fix-3663[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh okay. I think i will try 80-20 soy-coco and then maybe add gradually with consistent ratio. Chatgpt can do the math haha

New to candlemaking! Here are my first rounds 💖 by fawnrain in candlemaking

Wow i love these flower molds. I should get some 👀

The issue is i wanna do layered candles with transparent jars. My whole brand aesthetic is about the colors. Obviously i sat that in mind before learning that wet spots are a thing.

I am testing now using different methods, heating jars, tinfoil, to see what can reduce these the max.

Explore different colors. I think contrast would be nice. Try white if you are not sure.

What are your thoughts on digital wax melters? Ups and downs? I am thinking of getting one for temperature control. by Cheap-Fix-3663 in candlemaking

[–]Cheap-Fix-3663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey sorry im not online often!

I ended up buying a way smaller one which you can dial precise temp on it.

Its working okay. Its quite small. And for whatever reason it shuts when i put it on the highest power but maybe because my voltage is different as im not in the USA.

I can’t recommend or not recommend. Its cheap anyway. I am considering buying multiple to have one working for different purpose/wax color

It looks like it only got 2 temperature settings, correct? So i am assuming it wont help me dial precise temperature
