Candles in the Moonlight

Close your eyes and see yourself gazing at a giant full moon from a tiny cottage in the woods in the middle of the night. Out of curiosity and wonder you slip through the front door of your home holding only a candle in hope of coming face to face with this alluring beam of light. As you make your way through the forest you feel the cool breeze as your candle flickers. Following a windy path, you keep your eyes on the great big white disk playing peek-a-boo behind the trees. A peaceful melody plays as the forest becomes alive. As you look up at the trees they morph in shape until they all appear to look like different whimsical candles illuminating the way. You reach the edge of the woods with a calm sense of belonging and oneness. There beyond in the heart of the meadow waiting is your dear friend, the Moon. 

For this Melody Bowl I repurposed a beautiful vintage glass compote with an array of different types of crystals using a bit of imagination to create different types of colorful candles. My vision for this bowl was to create a peaceful night scene, a space for stillness, imagination, wonder and hope. 

Everything pictured here you will receive as well as the sand (and some extra!).
