Butterfly Meadow Cyanotype candle holder white & blue, Christmas gift

Description

A beautifully translucent Cyanotype on a delicate textured paper makes this a very special candle holder. When the candle is lit the light flickers through the image bringing the blue butterflies alive. 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 box available to purchase in a separate listing. Please note each candle holder is unique and hand-made to order. Due to the nature of the cyanotype process the blues may vary.
