Carolyn Final Proposal




Needed Materials
• Different colored glass
• Glass cutter
• Pliers to snap glass
• Soldering iron (120 watt)
• Solder 60, 40
• Copper foil
• Flux
After completely all my experiments I have decided I want to make a candle holder for my projects. I think a candle holder will allow the light of the candles to show the true beauty of the glass. I plan on making it a set of four candle holders. The holder will make a peek up in the center and peek down in the front of each section to allow you to see the different sections and colors of glass. I plan on using three different glass colors/patters; clear, white, and a clear/white/black swirl. The white would make the base, and the small detailing trianges. The swirl will trim the top. I have still not desided if I want to etch into the glass but the white effect of the etching would go well with the other colors. This design will allow me to use what I have learned about cutting glass and how you can cut our corners but not out from other areas. It will also have me solder pieces that are flat egde to egde, and make ninety degree corners.
