From Booklist

Making candles, for the Chapelle studio artists, follows a well-established format: questions and answers for how-tos, basic techniques, and enhanced projects, followed by a gallery of ideas. This handbook begins with a brief overview of the history of wax lighting, materials, and more than just a few safety tips about working with wax and heat. With that information mastered, readers can then venture to try any one of approximately 30 projects, either a fundamental building block, such as a fragrant or dyed candle, or a much-embellished starting point, such as one adorned with sponge paint, encircled by bamboo, or embossed or sponged. A gallery at the end showcases just a few decorative ideas. Once you've mastered the ABCs by way of this handy book, then wax eloquently elsewhere. Metric equivalency chart appended. Barbara Jacobs
