Here is pictorial process of how I started with a blank piece of glass and finished with a pair of mirrored candle holders that are replacing a similar pair that I made in 2001 but were destroyed in a fire at the Brothers and Sisters of Charity mother house in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, that wiped out all of the common buildings in the compound. The candle holders, along with other things were stored in the chapel and lost. If you hover your mouse just below the strip of pictures, you have the option to auto play the slide show and also to go full screen.

Perhaps this will show http://dreamweaverglassworks.com/LPHolders.swfIf not then you may need a later version of SWF viewer - or possibly even blocked by your ISP or workplace |

Thanks everyone - the Mother House is about 15 miles outside of Eureka Springs, down some very rustic and country roads - not too much fun driving in a monstrous thunderstorm, luckily no hair pin turns but a lot of what looked like puddles that were actually holes about 8 or 10 inches deep and about 4 feet across!
