This tealight candle holder shellcraft sculpture uses a 7" wide x 3" deep glass base. The glass is covered in sand on the design side. Self-adhesive foam is applied to the underside to keep the glass from marring wood surfaces.
The ceramic votive candle holder has an embossed lighthouse on the front side. Gulls fly around the sides and back. Although originally intended for votive candles, now that it is part of this sculpture it is better to use tealights.
I made an island for the small red & white resin lighthouse to the left of the candle holder. The island is made from 2 seashells. As you can see the lower one is very colorful. Once these 2 main pieces were glued in place I started the rest of the design.
After picking through my collection of seashells, I settled on the ones shown here. I picked the yellow one for the brilliant color. There are also 2 pieces of coral. One is right in front of the candle holder and another is on the right side behind the yellow shell.
A small yellow fish and a small red crab complete the design.
