Full description

A beautifully translucent Cyanotype on mulberry paper makes this a very special candle holder. When the candle is lit the light flickers through the image bringing the blue skied scene alive with Swallows swooping over trees and meadows

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 with 'The Way to Blue' tag 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 slightly.

All images and designs Copyright The Way to Blue, 2022.

Designed by Sarah Middleton in Conwy
