Candlemas Post Update

Kira alerted me (thanks!) to the fact that in this Candlemas post, the link to Katherine's post on the saintly table decoration was no longer active so I went ahead and updated the post to include more specific information on how I made last year's Candlemas lantern. I thought I would post it here for anyone who might be interested.

We borrowed Katherine's amazing idea and made this table centerpiece. I made a line drawing of Simeon's Moment and the turtledoves and then copied them onto a piece of transparent vellum. I also made a copy of each of the original pictures on the vellum and cut them down to fit in the mats.

I used black 5x7 mats and chose to make ours four-sided. My original hope was to do three line drawings colored by each of the children but The Professor really doesn't like to color and I didn't feel like forcing him so we devoted 2 sides to St. Simeon and 2 sides to the doves. The picture in the middle was taken when the shade was half done so you can see the inner workings. A three sided shape like Katherine's probably wouldn't shift as much as this one does but I like having a little more room between the candle and the paper.
