Luscious colors and bold geometric shapes are the hallmarks of designer Alison Jenkins's elegant candles, and she shares her expertise in creating them in this book. Magnificent photographs and excellent instructions explore molded, beeswax, gel, ice, embossed, frosted, embedded, and scented varieties, including stately bamboo-shaped tapers, an imposing Mark Rothko-inspired rectangle, soothing Zen stones, and a flashy number sporting iridescent glass nuggets. No one method receives highly in-depth coverage, but each is treated skillfully enough to give even novices a good grounding in the technique. A thorough introductory section details tools, materials, basic techniques, mold making, and special effects. Safety precautions, a troubleshooting guide, and a list of suppliers round out this terrific presentation. --Amy Handy
