I'd be honored to make these available to others. They're unscented and solid black.

My main concern is not wanting to spam the group. (My goal isn't to be disrespectful. I just wanted to share my joy.)

But yeah, anyone needing one, let me know. I'm not a greedy man. I promise.

A beauty she is.

Did you use non toxic waxes?

or toxin parrafin?

Just currious I am about to make my self a candle.

and Parrafin affects my asthma as its pretty toxic

Here is how I plan to go about it(I have not done this before so it Might not work so well)

I need a metal container coated with nickel.

I would then pour vegetable oil (85% soybean oil) and some coconut oil into the pan

Put it in an oven from 150-200 degrees let it thicken over time.

when it gets to a certain thickeness i will add luster crystals and just plain transparent crystals

(to make it harder, as soybean wax is a soft wax and I do not want to have to use a container to hold it in)

from there if it is still too soft i was planning on adding white wax beeswax beads you can find online.

then as it is still hot and melted i would add the black dye.

and possible fragrance but that isnt important to me.

then i will find a make shift mold to put it into.
