Luminaries.......Once Again

For those of you that have been visiting my blog for sometime,

you may recongnize these creations. 

It has been a long time since I have made any.

These round luminaries are made from tea bags

which I open and empty and add botanical bits and paper/fabric, ink 

and other bits and pieces to.

They can either stand on a window sill

and have the light that shines through 

show off their bits and pieces

OR.....

 

I add a battery operated tea light

inside the tube 

and when turned on gives a lovely glow.  

I really love how the light shows off 

the tiny flowers, stems and bits and pieces 

in each one. 

I have been thinking about creating an online class 

to show how I make these

...... but so far it has just been on the 'thinking about it' list.

Here are a few packaged with paper instructions

(which means no light shows through - so they are not so pretty)

ready to go to the little art gallery in town.
