Cheapo candle -- a contrast study. |
Combination of 2 images: "The Christmas Tree" sheet music & an antique postcard cutout. |
and what do you have?
This! As I mentioned in the caption above, this is comprised of 2 layered images. The postcard cutout was originally round, but I stretched it out a bit because I thought it suited the design better. Not sure it would have made any difference really. I also tried to get the song title at the top so that when the candle is lit, presumably, it would show. The images were printed out on decal paper and then affixed onto the votive. (Note to self: when using decal paper, you don't have to reverse the image! Duh!)
Here it is, all dressed up in its native habitat:
That's a twine bow & a sprig of "holly" around the top. |
I added this one because I thought it was funny... can you see me?! (Humor me a bit...) |

I just couldn't seem to get the photography right, but I kept trying! Here's a sampling to show you all sides:
Left side. |
Right side. |
I wanted to show it lit up, so I went to the windowless downstairs half-bath. |
One more time... |
Spooky Santa!? |
Help?! |
And if you're still with me at this point, thanks for indulging me! Really.
