these lamps are made out of wine bottles mostly, but don't be too surprised, if you see a jelly jar or a Canadian beer bottle or a Jack Daniels whiskey keg or maybe a flower vase. mmm...did I forget to mention champagne glasses? ...So I use about anything that catches my fancy. Paint it, or do a glass mosaic or maybe etch a design...then drill a hole, put in some lights and top it off with a matching shade and voila! "Fresh Designs, Green Ideas, Recycled arts"..

Stoned


Shells stoned by the smell of the ocean.

Collected from the beaches of Cape May, NJ (summer 2009)
Tumbling in the waves, the broken edges of shells are smoothed and rounded to make large stone-like structures...
Coupled with pebbles to line a pasta (Bertolli) jar... topped with a shell.

The Big Fish!

Since the stars that we reach are just star-fish on the beach, this was more than due.
Here's to the starfish from the tiny, yet mighty, wannabe Big Fish:

Start with a clear Champagne glass. Stem and base covered with seashells/ small conches, focus on a tiny red star fish on stem, topped with matching red frosted glass shade.
