Sunday was riding on Satudays high, and I let it. I really wanted to complete my tea light bevel prototype.

Complete being the operative word. I did try couple other prototypes and it kept falling apart on me. The concept was sound, but there was something lacking in the sturctural reinforcement, that made it wobble and collapse. I knew, I needed a stronger base to balance the weight.

To the computer.... I researched for small artists glass or stone blocks and all I came across was the building blocks (some rather very interesting glass blocks, with colors and patterns and sandblasting done, but I digress). It struck me, why not construct it? AH! What a radical idea! And lo behold!!! here are some pictures of a structurally sound and dazzling tea light holders with bevels...... what do you think!!

          

These are views from three different angles and are really three different tea light assemblies (each oval bevel is pretty much a standalone tea light), as the reflection on the camera with the lights was too dazzling. I tried different angles and different settings on the camera, and I don't know if I can take pictures for the web that well. Ah, well, something new to learn over period of time.
