Delicate Swallow Cyanotype Tea light Holder, garden birds

Description

The distinctive silhouette of a Swallow resting on a branch is captured on this contemporary tea light holder. When the candle is lit the light flickers through bringing the image to life! Created using the old photographic process of Cyanotype. A light sensitive solution is applied to a delicate textured paper, a large format negative laid 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. 8cm diameter, 9cm height. Tea light included Gift box available in 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. All images and designs Copyright The Way to Blue, 2024.
