Medieval Candlestick Tower
I had this potpourri bowl with a pewter lid that my wife picked up for me from somewhere. The lid is destined for a wooden bowl that I'll turn (or have - she's since picked up a couple more) but that left me with this glass bowl. She asked if I could make some sort of candle holder using the glass bowl ... and out of that was born this idea.
It's a fairly simple carving, but it takes a long time to do. I turned the basic shape, and then hand carved each stone, the windows, and the door. I haven't had much experience in painting carvings, but I had fun with this one. Below is a detail shot of the lichen/moss I added to the carving with paint. I used acrylics.
