Becoming a favourite....

Oh how I love making these.....there is something rather
addictive about the magic of transforming a flat piece of
paper into something beautiful.



And how fine they look in a little cluster....



Once again I used this lovely tutorial, but this time I chose to
use blotting paper. It worked well, was easy to paint,
stiff enough to hold its shape, but thin enough for
the candlelight to shine through -without painting with oil.
As the nights pull in, I feel myself developing such a fondness
for paper lanterns and the gentle magic of candlelight.
