Like my ice light? It's a votive candle inside a round of
ice! You fill water inside a mold that looks like a bundt pan,
freeze it, let it sit out for a 1/2 hour, unmold it, and place it on
top of the base, which holds the votive. The mold becomes a
collection container for the melting ice. The flame inside the
ice is just simply stunning! We lit and enjoyed it for the first
time on Christmas Eve, and this is a picture of it.
The ice looks like crystal...and the shimmering candlelight on the
crystal-ice is too irrestable for the kids...they come up and run their
little fingers along the smooth edges of ice. I ran my ffinger
over it several times, too. You can feel the heat of the candle
in contrast with the coldness of the ice.
It's a good metaphor for this time of year....the glimmer of light that
stays alive in spite of the cold all around. The light could
represent the sun, new hope in a frozen/crazy world, the DIvine
within....however one could think of it.
