Mail-order resource included. 145 color photos.

In Norma Coney's comprehensive guide to candle-making techniques, handsome color photos and detailed text illustrate how to make 40 different kinds of candles, a number of them unusual (marbleized, tie-dyed, carved--even appliquéd). There are some amazing candles here, such as the water candle (in which a pillar candle is surrounded by what look like rolling waves of wax), sand candles, and cut-and-curl tapers.
Inspiration combined with great techniques and a troubleshooting guide make this book a wonderful addition to your craft library. Coney has covered about everything you would need to know in order to buy supplies, work with different waxes and create your own beautiful masterpieces. The introduction is a brief history of the evolution of candles and their place in history. Each section of the book covered a topic such as equipment, molds, cautions, special effects and a very good trouble shooting guide. Photography shows clear pictures of each step and there are also many examples of each type of candle to further charm you. This volume is a bargain and would appeal to anyone old enough to handle hot wax. It is especially appropriate for beginners, and can save a lot of time and needless mistakes. -- From Independent Publisher
