Day 91

I wasn't feeling too crafty today, so Stan jumped in and helped me because he is supportive and wonderful and cute too.  :)

We made a candle holder, using a glass container we had from somewhere.  I seriously wonder where we get some of this stuff, it just shows up, or so it seems anyway.  We painted it blue, added black sand and a tea candle and it's really gorgeous actually.  The paint finish makes the light come through in a freaky kind of way, almost reminds me of walking the beach at night in Florida, with the moon peeking out from behind some clouds.  It's a nice memory to have with this craft.

Here it is finished, sort of hard to see since it's dark and the candle is lit:


Here are the supplies, and the glass container all ready painted, forgot to take a "before" picture.  The supplies were the glass container, blue acrylic paint and masking tape:


Here is the inside, full of black sand and the tea candle:


And another "after" picture, with the candle lit:
