Hi Kim,
I went to the ISOCAN conference in Chicago and saw a demo on this which was really cool. She had two methods, the first she had precolored and poured some bright colors in small tins. The wax was hard but she used a heat gun to melt the top layer. She then drizzled it around the outside, doing this with 2 other colors. Once the color was splattered around the edges she then hit it from the inside with the heat gun again tipping the container to mix the colors further. Once dried, she poured in the main color. This method was more for looks from the outside - looked really tie-dyed. The next looked more marbleized and I will be trying it shortly - melt the wax and divide into two containers. I think 1/3 was in the one to be the accent color. Scent them both. Color them - in the example she did white and black and I believe the black was the about 1/3 of the amount of wax melted. Wait until the wax is started to cool and gets "slushy" When that happens, pour with both hands each of the waxes into the container. Take a stick to swirl it slightly together to give it a marbleized look. It was really cool! Did you try the method you mentioned? :-), Angie

HiHas anyone tried swirling color into their soy candles?I saw instructions on the about.com page and wanted to try it.They say to pour your candles, wait 30 minutes then poke 9 holes around the outside all the way to the bottom.Slightly melt the top and take a toothpick to add color to the holes.then use heat gun to melt the wax on the outside.What do you all think?Kim
