Book of Candlemaking
by: Larkin, Chris
Here is a complete how-to guide to help you produce any combination of
size, shape, color, scent, and style, even floating candles. Creating
your own candles allows for a wide range of creative expression. Molding,
dipping, rolling, carving, twisting, scenting, decorating-all these methods
yield unique handmade candles, and all are nicely explored in this well-illustrated
guide. A thorough introduction to the various techniques sets the stage
for dozens of projects, from molded shapes concealing hidden treasures
or stately pillars collaged with found objects to elegantly decoupaged
tapers or whimsical candles mimicking ice cream sundaes. Many projects
are devoted to decorating candle containers, so in addition to showing
beginners how to delve into the field and providing more experienced crafters
with new ideas, the book also offers great designs for unleashing your
creativity on the candleholder, even if you never make a single candle
from scratch. Lavish photographs demonstrate how to use the candles in
a variety of inspiring settings. Full color throughout. 128 pgs.
