This is a seconds as the gold paint has bled slightly into the textured paper and is a bit rough at the circle edges. There is also a tiny fleck of gold paint on the white background. Please see second photo.
The delicate silhouettes of Cow Parsley seed heads with beautifully transluscent small blue butterflies fluttering around them are depicted on this unique candle holder. The hand painted gold circle creates a luxurious feel to this candle holder, evoking the light of a setting sun behind the butterflies.
 
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.
Please note each candle holder is unique and hand-made to order.
