Why a glass candle holder???
1. The diameter of the holder is not too small or big (if it’s too big, you’re more likely to use more pigments, and you really don’t need a lot). 2. The sides of the holder is straight making it easier to scoop every bit (or at least most of it) of pigments. 3. Since it’s made out of glass, the container can hold it’s ground while you’re mixing because it has some weight (so it’s not moving around too much). 4. It’s transparent. You can see every pigment you have inside, making it easier to scoop the hell out of your mixture and cleaning it. 5. It’s easier to clean. Wipe it with tissue with some alcohol in it after each use. No need for a sink to wash and clean your mixing bowl. TIP #3: Use a skinny spatula with a long handle. I tried mixing my pigments with a tiny spatula (see image above). I mean all is great in the beginnning, but once you hit the third or fourth mixture, your hands will be cramping. It’s just harder to hold a tiny spatula while you’re trying to mix your pigments.
