Sculptural Candle Holder

Looking much prettier than ice - this well-proportioned glass sculpture by Barbara Thompson, could hold a candle, or maybe before too long, water with a colorful lenten rose floating.

Barbara Thompson "Rock Filled Candle Holder" at the Joyful Jewel 11-19-14

"Rock Filled Candle Holder"
Barbara Thompson
~ 4" x 12", Mixed Media Sculpture
$15

Isn't this clever!  Barbara Thompson has made a candle holder, complete with battery-powered candle) out of re-cycled glass components and filled the middle with lovely smooth river rocks.  Would make a nice centerpiece of dining table, maybe with a few cedar fronds around the bottom.  It is weighted just right so that it won't tip over.

Glass Sculpture, ~ 16" high x 12" round at the bowl
$40

It's time, finally, to put out this beautiful sculpture for the birds to bathe in!  Of course, I say finally, as it is a beautiful bright blue-skied day and the rain-produced water is drying up.  I can just see a blue bird fluffing his blue blue finery in the water getting ready to impress his lady friend.  To give Barbara Thompson more credit, though, this sculpture would be just as beautiful inside your home, such as in the entry way to hold sweets or even keys for pickup next time out the door.  Or, how about on the dining table overflowing with grapes and almonds surrounding a candle.

Barbara Thompson "Ethereal Glass Sculpture" at the Joyful Jewel 8-17-13

"Ethereal Glass Sculpture/Candle Holder"

Barbara Thompson

~ 3 1/3 x 11 1/2", Glass

$15

          Although Barbara Thompson doesn't name her pieces, it's easy to see why I gave this one the name "Ethereal Glass Sculpture."  It's also a statuesque candle holder on top.  I am reminded of the wispy sweetness of a wedding or the lilac scent of a Victorian lacy lady's boudoir.  I love that this piece looks so delicate yet is incredibly strong -- a bit like beautiful Barbara herself!
