Product Description
From Booklist
Paraffin is passe, at least according to Miller, who has whipped up 35 concoctions of . . . gel? A specialized mineral oil, gel is much more malleable than wax, though it has many of the same good properties. As the author explains, four elements are key to success--the gel, containers, embedded objects, the wick. Vintage costume jewelry becomes the 3-D treasure in a wide candle. Rocks form the solid surface for a ready-to-light Zen garden. And geometric shapes tinted just the right colors emulate sushi forms--albeit with wicks. Naturally, all 35 projects feature materials, designer credits, step-by-step instructions, and great photographs. Barbara Jacobs

4.0 out of 5 stars
great pics and some fresh looks on ideas,
By Kenya (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fantastic Gel Candles: 35 Fun & Creative Projects (Paperback)
The first 17 pages of this book deals with safety,materials, molds,gel subjects,types of embeds,how to place embeds,wicks and positioning wicks, coloring/scents,using glitter, containers,and decorating containers. This is neat in it's own way because it gets that stuff out of the way, while other authors use it to fill up their books.This book : looks at container use,using a glue gun to decorate,using sequins,making a small aquarium,using glitter stars,using mini tree lights, using charms,using chenille,using bells,snow candles,a very nice rock/gel candle in a plastic tub,using dried foods/spices,crystal look candles,shell candles,costume jewelry candles,musical notes with wire candles,a neat hoop of beads inside of the candle,jagged edged colored candles,layered, towers of colors inside of gel candle,pearls and goldleaf candles,and sushi candles. This book would be good for the beginner because it lists many things in the get started part at the front of the book. I am the kind of person who has some ideas, but needs to see other ideas too. If you are this type of person this book does offer great pics throughout, directions, and material lists. This is not my favorite, but I'm very glad that I bought it for the ideas and some of the instructions at the front are very informing. Easy format.
