This is one of two pairs of Candle holders that I painted for Christmas 2001. I used Gold cerne relief by Pebeo(R) to draw the design and then painted in the colours using the Marabu Ceramic range of paints. The candle holders where then dried and baked in the oven. |

This angel stained glass plaque was made for my friends son's first Christmas, he was 1 month old at Christmas 2001. I used an off cut of glass which is 1/4 inch thick, and edged it with copper leading. Then using Gold cerne relief by Pebeo(R) I drew on the angel shape. I then painted the dress in white, wings in yellow which I mixed with some glitter glaze, the boots in black, the heart in red, leaves in green and in-filled around the angel with blue paint. Once this was all dry I then hand painted on the Christmas Lullaby. After the plaque was dry I them baked it in the oven at 160c for 30 minutes. |

This frosted tumbler was turned into a lovely night light candle holder again using Marabu Ceramic range paints and Gold cerne relief by Pebeo(R). The design is repeated on the opposite side of the glass, which when in use casts a beautiful coloured reflection. Again allow the paint to dry and bake according to the manufactures instructions. |

This frosted tumbler was turned into a lovely night light candle holder again using Marabu Ceramic range paints and Black cerne relief by Pebeo(R). The design is repeated randomly on the glass, which when in use casts a beautiful coloured reflection. Again allow the paint to dry and bake according to the manufactures instructions. |

This Glass jar was recycled. I then painted a Partridge and pear on one side, using Marabu Ceramic range paints and Black cerne relief by Pebeo(R). Again I allowed the paint to dry and baked according to the manufactures instructions. Once this had cooled down I made the jar into a lidded candle, by placing a wick and some vanilla scented candle wax into it. Then use raffia to embellish the jar. |

This rather pretty Carafe was a Birthday gift to one of my colleague's at work. She loves Sunflowers, so I painted a summer scene. It included a field mouse, rabbit, butterflies, ladybird, and a dragonfly. I used Black Cerne Relief from Pebeo(R) let that dry and then in-filled the colours using the Marabu Ceramic range of colours. This was then dried and baked in the oven to make it water proof and dishwasher proof. |

This bottle was painted Red using Marabu Ceramic range and then baked, you will need to use about 4 coats to produce this effect, allow time between coats to dry. After it was baked I just used gold Cerne Relief from Pebeo(R) to draw on a Christmas design of candles and holly leaves. |
