Back with a quick gift idea - just enough time to fit a few in before the big day! I loved how easy these Octopode candles were to do and so I decided to do some more for gifts. I printed out the Xmas Teddy Bo digi onto tissue paper and did some light colouring with my Copics. It isn't really possible to do a great deal of blending and shading on the tissue paper but I don't think it matters too much in this case.
I cut around the image and applied it to the candle using wax paper and my heat gun - as long as you keep the heat gun moving, you shouldn't have any problems with the candle melting!
Here he is, posing with my vintage glass jars on a little table I recently painted (may do a post on that soon). I love the touch of red against the pale blues and greys.
He's so cute that I may have to keep him myself!
I would like to enter him into the following challenges -
Thanks for popping in!

Gorgeous candle, Dawn! Love the sweet image! It looks fab in the colors you chose!
Oh, I LOVE this candle! You did a great job on it! And the coloring is perfect - no need for heavy duty blending. You need to make another so you can keep this one GUILT FREE. Haha! Your staging is perfect too! Thanks for playing along at Tuesday Alchemy!
Oh my! This candle is so fabulous! Red and teal are a favorite combo! And I concur, you need to keep this candle. The way you have it staged, it is at home.
He's adorable--I'd have a hard time of giving him up, too, lol! Love that pop of red! What a great idea! :^)
