I love candle light in my home. It always makes a place feel warmer and more intimate. I had used polymer clay for other projects and wanted to experiment with marbling techniques. In the end I used some scrap copper pipe and the marbled polymer clay as a base to create these candleholders.

Condition the clay. For each candleholder I used about 1 part granite clay to 4 parts white clay.
Roll the clay into snake-like shapes.
Press the granite clay into the white clay and fold in half. Fold in half again.
Roll the clay out again and fold as in step 3. Repeat one more time.
Once the clay is mixed, roll into a ball.
Shape the clay into a square. Tip: Grab two objects with flat sides and press the clay from opposite ends.
Finally insert the copper pipe into the centre of the square. Make sure it is secure enough.
Bake according to package instructions.
