I have been experimenting with candle holders, tissue holders, and lately,
hinged boxes. Some of these projects are shown below.
My first commercial hinged box is a donation
for the Chinese Culture Center's annual benefit dinner and silent auction.
The box and the lotus symbolize harmony, their benefit theme (Harmony and
Bliss).
My candleholder designs are getting simpler, my work
faster, and my boxes really square. It looks so easy until you try to do
it!
The votives on the right were made with scraps
from a client project. The middle one is a patchwork, while the others
feature the natural beauty of the Youghgiogheny glass.
The candleholder on the left was designed to coordinate with a
commissioned window panel completed in 2007. See the panel information
here.
First tissue box effort.
Second tissue box design. Square hole is easier to use.
Pricing:
Candle holder prices depend more on
complexity than size. Square cuts and fewer pieces are generally less
time-consuming and therefore less expensive. The prices range from $40 to $70.
