Original “ORPHAN SHELL ART “ Sculpture

This is the second piece I have chosen to put a Purple Glass Votive in. My Sister by choice ask me to light them up. Thank you Gail! So here it is. The Shells in this piece again are hand chosen and surround the beautiful purple glass votive which has a battery operated candle that has a timer and shuts its self off. The shells are very similar to my other votive piece. In a range of purple, mauves and creams. Purple beads runs through this piece and small sand dollars and a large star fish complete It. In one of the middle shells is a perfect shade of purple accented on this Orphan Shell is a wampum shell from Maine, named and traded by local Indian tribes in the area , Wampum means “money”by the Indians and traded for goods years ago. Large clam shells are a sturdy base in the one of a kind creation. After hurricane Ian I found one of my Flower pots broken and decided to use a piece of this pot as a base to hold the glass votive. I am hoping the buyer enjoys this piece and it lights up your life a little. My slogan for my “ORPHAN SHELL ART” is as follows. Just like us as Humans we are not all Perfect but combined with others are Beautiful. My little art works are from the Sea. Not all are perfect but combined with others are Beautiful. In real life people are not perfect but combined with others we are each beautiful in our own way. Make Friends and hang onto them. Sandy
