This is a ‘seconds’ as it is slightly darker blue than usual and there's a few white flecks where the textured paper fibre hasn't absorbed the Cyanotype solution. 
 
A beautifully translucent Cyanotype on a textured handmade paper makes this a very special candle holder. When the candle is lit the light flickers through the image bringing the blue skied meadow scene alive with delicate butterflies fluttering amongst the grasses.
 
This unique candle holder is created using the old photographic process of Cyanotype. A light sensitive solution is applied to mulberry paper, objects or negatives layered on then exposed to sunlight, the solution is then rinsed off and the paper dried, fixing the image. To make these candle holders the paper is then applied to glass. The thinness of the paper allows the light to shine through the image.
8cm diameter, 9cm height. Tea light included.
Gift boxes are available in a separate listing.
