• I use special Vitrail glass paint and Vitrail glass outliner
• I leave each paint colour to dry naturally for 12 hours before the next colour is applied
• I don’t oven bake these paints as I think you get a much richer, more intense effect if you take the time to let them dry naturally.
• But it does mean that each item takes time to paint & dry before shipping - please check the shipping details for an indication of how long this one will take

My items are designed to be easily personalised!

• CANDLE HOLDERS: 1) choose your colour from the options listed under the title
2) to have a name added, please message with your order

• GLASS BLOCKS: just message me to discuss colour preferences or other changes (each block takes about 2 weeks to paint & dry).
To have a name added, then message me with your order – this will only take about 2 days

• LANTERNS: the colours can be customised (lanterns usually take 3-4 weeks to paint & dry)
Any cats can be changed to resemble your own (tabby, patch on back, etc.) – message me when you order.

• JARS: choose your preferred colour combination from the options listed under the title (each jar takes about 3-4 weeks to paint before it ships

PLUG IN LIGHTS (£10.00) give the brightest effect.
10M long with 100 LED bulbs
Clear white cables & white bulbs
Waterproof - can be used both indoors & out (though keep the plug in a dry place).
They have 8 different "twinkle / flash" combinations, including "steady on".
They come with a 2 point EU plug, 220-240V. I will include a 3 pin UK plug if sending to a UK buyer - or a 2 pin American plug if sending to a buyer in the USA or Canada

BATTERY LIGHTS (£6.00) aren't as bright, but are useful if your item won’t be near a power point.
5M long with 50 LED bulbs
Clear white cables & white bulbs
NOT waterproof - keep indoors.
2 combinations - "steady on" or "flash"
3 x AA batteries required (batteries are NOT provided)

Ornately Lanterns’ items are great outside exposed to the elements, as they can weather both rain & sun extremely well.
• BUT - please bring your purchase indoors during HEAVY rain or snow, as such weather can affect the quality of the paint
• If your item gets dirty, it should NOT be soaked or scrubbed in water - & NO dishwashers! Instead please wipe it down gently with a damp cloth.
• Your item can be seen at its best when lit up by bright sunshine, fairy lights or else with a candle. Please DON’T touch if candle is burning, as the metal of the lantern can get hot.

Glass is both heavy AND fragile, alas - so I take extra care when preparing your item for shipping.
• The lanterns and glass blocks are too heavy to travel by ordinary mail (not that I would trust the postman with them!), so I will always send these by courier.
• Items usually take 2 - 7 days to arrive, depending on where you are in the world.
• Your purchase will be very carefully wrapped in a very, VERY large amount of protective card, bubble, wrap, air cushions, etc. I always use biodegradable packaging & I try to recycle where I can, as I don't really like to use so much packing - however, I find that it's required!!
• If any damage occurs during shipping, please contact me within 14 days with photos & I will do my best to help.
