Cut and Carve Candles: Beautiful Candles to Dip, Carve, Twist and Curl. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Once again, Lark has come up with the first book to showcase a fabulous craft. Cut & Carve Candles should prove every bit as successful as the earlier Complete Candlemaker (78,000 copies sold) and Gel Candles (70,000 copies sold). From tapers with simple twisted ribbons of wax to an elaborate candle shaped like a lighthouse, these 20 cut-and-carve projects have a beautiful look all their own. Yet they're simple to make: just dip a molded base candle into layers and layers of colored wax, then carve, twist, and curl patterns into the surface. Explore the many possibilities by learning all the basic cuts, from scrolls and bows to loops, and then combining them to create an infinite number of wonderful effects.
