Full description
A beautifully stylish tealight holder featuring golden pictish/celtic knotwork on four sides.
Measing approximately 6cm x 6cm x 6m, each holder weighs a sturdy 200g, has a felt base to protect your surfaces and comes with a free unscented tealight for your convenience.
The tealight itself is gloss black, and the raised celtic designs are handpainted in golden acrylic and laquered. Custom colourways are available - just message me with your requirements.
*Never leave your tealights burning unattended and always use candles in trays like the one provided.
How it's made
I carved the basic tealight holder from plaster of paris.
A silicone mould and plaster support shell was made and a polyester resin copy made in the mould.
I then carved the celtic design from plaster and made a further mould.
4 identical designs were cast in this mould and glued to the resin tealight holder.
A further and final silicone and plaster mould was made of the finished master.
Then polyester pigment is mixed with resin and poured into the mould.
Once this has cured, the tealight is popped from the mould and the desgin is painted by hand.
A small square of adhesive backed felt is cut to size and affixed to the base.
Finally, the holder is tested by burning a tealight for 4 hours.
