Review: This book starts out defining terms and talking about basic techniques/coloring/scenting. It even pictures and defines different types of candles,which I haven't seen in any of the other candle books that I have. It shows: how to twist tapers, paint candles(interesting pics),rubberstamp candles, paint with crayons(I haven't seen this in other books either),use gold leaf with candles, use paper with candles, make photo frame candles (unique),how to make wallpaper candles,shows great wedding candles,how to use materials to make candle designs( doilies, stickers, vellum,matallic paper,beads,fabric applique', sandpaper,tinfoil,stones,mirrors,buttons,tree bark,reeds,
shells,charms,wire, metallic scratching,denture cleanser color effects(very neat)and,small spices/food additive candles). It also shows you how to make wax designs to stick on your candles,make whipped wax candles(some different designs w/ pearls,ect),make cracked candles,goldlog candles, string wrapped candles,dripped candles,stacked candles,iceberg candles,wire/jewel effect candles,and an assortment of beaded candles. It also shows different ways to make holders or candle assessories with beads,tassels,wire,vent caps,and more. There are gift bag ideas and some templates. Every page is covered with pics and as you can see there are endless ideas that are unique. Crafts include pics,instructions and material list for each project in easy reading format. I had forgotten just how many ideas that this book had in it until I sat down to write this review. I think this book would be just fine for a beginner and has inspiration enough for pros.
