Don't Try This At Home...
Phxjennifer
...until you've set up your chemistry lab complete with beakers , flasks, proper ventilation, and a small charcoal forge. Most of this book is about changing ink colors, invisible inks, fooling around with black powder, making fireworks at home, phosphorus (eep!), but there are a few art projects that won't blow up the neighborhood or destroy your lungs. Well narrated, but scary.
