The
Complete Candlemaker
by Norma J. Coney, Deborah Morgenthal
Candlemaking, The Complete Candlemaker :
In Norma Coney's comprehensive guide to candlemaking
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.
More than pretty pictures and hot air, this candle
book has real substance as well as beautiful photos. Readers learn how
to make 40 kinds of candles: hand-dipped tapers, rolled beeswax pillars,
molded candles, votives, sand and water candles, and ice, chunk, floating,
hurricane, and cut-and-curl candles. Mail-order resource included. 145
color photos.
