fiat lux - let there be light!

Earlier this month, I made a kitchen tealight holder. It all started in a nearby Second Chance Store, where I purchased the components. The initial idea was to cover the structure with some crazy bright, Mexican colors, but somehow the copper paint made its way onto the craft table and I ended up faking a semi-precious metal. You know, sometimes you just can't control the will of the materials...


Here are the parts, all wooden: a spatula,  two egg cups and an incomplete pepper mill, after they have been sanded and gessoed.


And here are some details - very simple, shapes from paper punches glued onto the surface (note to self: next time, attach the cutouts BEFORE gessoing :)



So there you have it - a little bit of light for the long, dreary evenings!
