 What got me really excited about this book is that the authentic little alcohol lamps used in this are can still be gotten on eBay and so can the sealing wax! The antique beads and silk threads are also found on eBay! (Don't you just love it?!?) Even more exciting is, the sealing wax patterns and designs in this book can be used with the clay medium, too! And, of course, the Sculpty or Fimo Clay is available in many eBay auctions and art and hobby stores across the nation!
