Aromatherapy remains tremendously popular, and candles are of course natural components of this practice. Rhondda Cleary discusses the basics of essential oils and perfumed candles, including brief guidelines on what scents enhance what mood. But this is really not so much a book about fragrance (which it addresses almost glancingly) as it is about general candle making and decorating with candles, which it covers quite well. Cleary explains exactly how to make a molded candle and many variations thereof (striped, mosaic, ice, embedded, floating), as well as dipped and beeswax candles. The second portion of the book offers suggestions for using candles in the home and garden: for everyday decorating, holiday celebrations, table arrangements, and so on. Although the step-by-step instructions and photographs are adequate, they are not outstanding; where the book really shines is in its approach to making candles part of our daily lives and in encouraging us not simply to make candles but to use them. --Amy Handy |

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 |
