SUMMARY- There are some really beautiful projects in this book - the translucent quality of gel wax lends itself to a lot of projects that just aren't possible with parafin wax. Projects in this book are simple to execute, with a solid chapter on the basics and an emphasis on safety - a great book for a first time experimenter. The projects are by various designers who are not the author, so I've added their names in parentheses to the Table of Contents.
