Gold Collection Blackbird Cyanotype Candle holder, teacher gift

Description

The distinctive silhouette of a Blackbird resting on a branch is captured on this contemporary tea light holder. The hand painted gold circle creates a luxurious feel to this candle holder, evoking the light of a setting sun behind the bird silhouette. 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, 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. All images and designs Copyright The Way to Blue, 2024.
