Title: Candles Post by: Susan on December 29, 2008, 10:35:24 PM Merry Xmas to all
It has been quite some time since I have been online, but I was wondering if there are any fresholi members who are also candlemakers, or if not you might know of someone who you could recommend. :) Title: Re: Candles Post by: EJ on December 29, 2008, 10:38:22 PM PurpleSparkle is the first one who comes to mind (there's Soheila but she's in Finland), Keillys has made some but I don't know if she sells them.
Title: Re: Candles Post by: Helen on December 29, 2008, 10:39:56 PM Hi Susan, lovely to see you around here again, hope you are well :)
Suzanne too (if I remember correctly :-\) Title: Re: Candles Post by: Kattikitti on December 29, 2008, 11:01:08 PM I think silvergilt has dabbled in the past? Sorry still working may way through some of the older posts.
Title: Re: Candles Post by: EJ on December 29, 2008, 11:25:32 PM Yes KK - I think she has.
Title: Re: Candles Post by: Susan on December 29, 2008, 11:46:59 PM Hi everyone
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly - and whilst I will learn how to make candles of my own I want to take a short cut by finding someone who has the capability of making on a larger scale. I am also looking for a fragrance formulator - someone who can come up with some beautiful aromas. I will also start going through the older posts to see if I can find more information. Helen you have an excellent memory - but Susan is correct. In one of the posts I read you mentioned to you gone to a lab where they test the candles - I can't seem to be able to find the post again!! Do you remember the name of the lab? How long does the testing usually take before it is ready to general use for the public? ??? Title: Re: Candles Post by: Silvergilt on December 30, 2008, 07:59:52 AM Aye I used to make candles but I don't anymore; I'm afraid I just don't have the resources but it would be fun if I wasn't put all my energy into soap!
Good luck! Title: Re: Candles Post by: Helen on December 30, 2008, 10:36:12 PM Not sure about having an excellent memory (the blone get's in the way OFTEN :mwaha:) but is this the thread you are talking about?

Title: Re: Candles Post by: EJ on December 30, 2008, 11:13:39 PM Quote I am also looking for a fragrance formulator - someone who can come up with some beautiful aromas I'm told Carvansons (http://www.carvansons.co.uk/) are very helpful - will send out samples. IIRC Joy had a fragrance made up for her. Title: Re: Candles Post by: purplesparkle on December 31, 2008, 03:19:14 PM *waves*
I make candles, many more candles than soaps, so I don't know if I can help with anything? Title: Re: Candles Post by: Joy on December 31, 2008, 04:11:24 PM Carvansons are very helpful and will work with you to make a smell. :mwaha:
I don't make candles though. Title: Re: Candles Post by: Susan on January 10, 2009, 08:08:29 PM Thanks to everyone with their feedback I will certainly follow up on the leads. :ghug:
