that warm glow . . .

I love candles, even during the summer, but there's something especially charming about that warm glow during the cooler fall months.  

Here is a collection of various glassware, altered to be used as candle holders, featuring Altered Pages collage images, Vintage Text pages  and more.  (If you've been around for a while, you may remember them from Altered Arts Magazine.)

You can probably tell these were pretty simple to make--just break out all the Altered Pages collage goodies and trims, and start gluing!

What's harder to see is that when the candles inside the holders are lit, the yellowed pages from the Vintage Text Pages, and the warm reds from the collage images, give off a really pretty glow.

  3. Oh wow, Tonya, you are so right, it would make a great gift, like a set of three in a theme you know the recipient would love?

  5. And those are just plain ol' sticks on mine, over some text pages, wrapped with a little twine--actual cinnamon would be fabulous!!!!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
