Peacock Green Embroidered Tea-light Holder with Green Stitch and Hand Poured Blue Tea Candle

This peacock green embroidered tea light holder with blue and green Angelina fibres and a hand poured dark blue tea candle makes an unusual gift for any lover of the peacock and fibre art. The embroidery art candle holder will look gorgeous as a home decoration and will certainly grace any mantle, boudoir or coffee table.

When the blue marine scented tea candle is lit, the textile art tealight holder provides a sparkling glow in a shimmer of green with hints of jade, turquoise and blue and the green lace-like machine embroidery on the holder is beautifully emphasized. The holder has been strengthened with fabric stiffener making it functional afterwards as a pretty trinket dish. Alternatively, wash out the glass container and fill with another tea candle. This tea light holder will continue to brighten any room even after the tea light has been burned. 

The integrated tea light candle has been hand poured by Sara Thursfield Contemporary Textile Art. It is made from paraffin wax and has a marine fragrance. The tea light is housed inside glass and the container has a height of 3.3 cm and is 5 cm wide ( please see image 6 for tea candle size against a normal tea light ). The burn time of the tea light is up to 6 hours.

The tea light holder looks as if it is made of fused glass but it's lightweight and created from Angelina fibres. Shimmering blue and green Angelina fibres were sandwiched between two layers of soluble film and held firmly in place with an embroidery hoop. A web of free machine stitching in green rayon thread was then embroidered onto the three layers. Once completed, the ‘lace’ was placed under hot running water to dissolve away the soluble film and then carefully moulded into shape whilst damp.

The embroidered holder is approximately 12 cm (diam) x 5.5 cm (depth) and will be wrapped snugly then packed securely into a cuboid box.
