Bright Ideas



I've been searching antique stores for chandelier crystals to donate to TheSpanishLady's projects - but it turns out that was just a waste of time - I should've been roaming the candy aisles at Safeway instead! Look at these amazing gummi bear chandeliers!

It turns out there's no end to humble objects that can be turned into something beautiful - lost treasures, found objects, plastic cups, bic pens, clothespins, wire, drink carriers, paper clips, - it makes me itch to go out and make something wonderful.

























































































































































*Warning for the Fish Phobic: Fish Ahead*
(not a a fish head; fish ahead)

Even though what I really love about  Dominic Bromley's famous Shoal Chandelier is the white on white textures and shadows, I'd still like to try to make a small version with Swedish Fish.  Of course, I'd have to not munch....
