I actually found a beeswax supplier who sells the wax in coloured bricks.  I am giving a WOOT here - I love the colour or natural beeswax, but I sometimes want a change. I was looking about for beeswax pillars and the prices were a bit eek - so maybe I really should sacrifice a pan for the greater good this winter.

If you want the link to the coloured beeswax,keillys, I can post it t you in PM.

Indeed LLL - humph!  She said she was making these yesterday and I gave her a whole 10 mins to get home and get started before I pm'd her about this.  Outrageous if you ask me.  Humph, humph, humph  Strop

Don't know which supplier SG found but Thorne's beekeeping supplies have a wide range of coloured wax blocks plus soy wax and palm wax.

Loads of moulds and other equipment for candle making (and carnauba wax for making polish).
