The plonker strikes again. Made a batch of fragranced candles. Of course I did a test, but I have used the fragrance previously, so I knew it was good. Scratching my head because the test candles weren't right, but hey, I know what I am doing, I have used this fragrance so many times before; assumed I must have a cold and just carried on, and carried on, and carried on. They are not yet fully cured, so I don't expect to get the appropriate cold throw................... and guess what? I never will. I used reed diffuser rather than fragrance oil. In my defence your honour, the bottles are extremely similar and neither of them are cheap, nor was the candle wax or the wood wicks; think I might be able to salvage the wood wicks, who knows................ AND! just to add insult to injury, after typing up product information sheets re candles, including, do not burn your candles near anything inflammable or words to that effect. I decided to light one of the offending candles and didn't look what was close by, which was actually my wax heating pot, which now does not have a handle, who knew they were so inflammable and the ceramic pot is also ruined. On the plus side, the other pots are salvageable.............. Don't do what Tish does, do what you are supposed to do and double check everything

I’ve been playing with glow-in-the-dark pigment for my latest beginner resin project, and it reminded me how much one special-effect colourant can completely change a very simple make. So, if you could choose just one effect to experiment with next, which would it be? 🌙 Glow in the dark 🦎 Chameleon or colour-shift ✨ Interference or iridescent ☀️ UV- or heat-reactive 🤍 Metallic or pearl And what would you make with it? With Christmas projects starting to creep onto our craft tables, even a simple shape, keyring or decoration can feel completely different with the right colour effect. If you’re not sure which colourants work best in resin, have a look at the Quick Guide to Resin Colourants in the course resources. Your Project & Cure Log is also handy for recording how much you used, because “I’ll definitely remember” is usually the first step towards never remembering at all! 😂 Pop your chosen effect and project idea in the comments. Your answers might even give me a few ideas for future demonstrations. CRAFT ♥ LEARN ♥ CONNECT ♥ BELONG
