Mini Project 2: Candle holder, part 1

Recently, my fiancee and I have been discussing about wedding favors that we need to prepare for our guests. That conversation led to using glass engraving on a number of objects one of which is a candle holder.

So to start off, I bought a small candle holder as seen. Very cheap, just $1 singapore dollar. (I'm sure I can get a much better price if I buy in bulk)




For this wedding favor project, I found a picture of an angel using Google Image search. After converting the image to something I can use, I printed out the design onto paper.



As usual, put on the sticky tape so that it can be placed inside the candle holder. Next trace out the design with the marker.



Ok so engrave away! Took me about ten minutes..and this is how it looks like



This is only one third of the design as I plan to invert the angel and engrave it on the opposite side with the names of the groom and bride and wedding date in the middle.

However I was just so tempted to drop in the candle, light it up and take a shot.




So on to part 2.....
