Simple, but eye-catchingly effective...
Float a candle in a cut-or-pressed-glass dish, (dessert dishes often come in
amazingly decorative designs). As the candle drifts around,
it casts moving patterns of light and shade onto your
surroundings. Quite a mesmerizing sight at night...especially
if you line a number of bowls up on a long table, with a glass pane underneath.
Line the base of the dish with a layer or two of coloured glass stones, for
extra decorative appeal.
