Candle Holders

..........My current creative bubble is making these delicate candle holders. I have been making them using thin strands of glass called stringers. I fuse the glass so the strands merge together to form an open woven look.

By using translucent and opaque glass I end up with colorful candle holders that safely hold a tea light, but also let light and color shimmer and disperse through.

They are quite delicate, but by fusing some cross strands I have come up with a form that is sturdy enough to be handled without too much fear of breaking or cracking when used. Obviousuly like all glass they still need some TLC, just don't drop them :-)
