Tealight Candle Holder with Palm Trees and Crab

I handcrafted this small tealight candle holder on an oval base that measures 3 inch deep by 5 inch wide and about 1 inch thick. This beautiful shellcraft is designed to provide a feeling of gazing at a beach.

The tealight holder is designed with small seashells in a couple of patterns, then covered in beach sand. The two long shells on the front frame the small greyish shell in the center. The sand accents and ties the candle holder to the base and the sculpture to its right.

I set up the main design so that it sits directly on the wood base. The porcelain palm trees are to the back left side of the oval. In front is a small glass red crab slowly walking up a piece of coral that got in its way. Seashells are placed behind and to the side of the crab and palm trees. The beach is composed of real beach sand.
