mixing of wax

[krissyfromswindon]

i was wondering if i mixed a blue glitterball with a green glitterball would i get a purple glitterball or would i just bugger up two lamps

It could work in theroy but i depends on how saturated the two cloures are - if they are quite saturated then it could make a bit of a mess

Why purple? rather teal I'd say. I just know that glitterball way does mix with regular wax as I had a silver which wouldnt flow, so I mixed in some standart red and now it works + its a red/silver which looks quite cool.

do the colors stay with that killer tye dye look.... I like it... alot...

[Arne]

What exactly do you mean? the red one gains more and more of its silver surface over time. It starts red, then slowly turns all silver, I like it the best like on the pic above when every blob looks a bit like a silver earth.

Wow - quite the effect with the color mix.  Very nice.

what a nice effect

yes, absolutely...I bet a blue and green version would be cool too, but they are kinda expensive...and even if I get a bargain, the shipping cost to germany are making it expensive anyway. Its nice how the spreading of the silver really shows due to a coloured backround...please show a pic if you mix your glitterballs, I would love to see that!
