Make a Marble Candle Holder

by

If you have kids, chances are you have a collection of marbles lying around the house. While marbles can be used for playing games or trading with friends, they can also be repurposed to create a beautiful and unique candle holder. This DIY project is not only fun and easy, but it’s also a great way to upcycle and repurpose materials that you already have on hand.

To create this candle holder, all you need are glass marbles, a glass jar or vase, and some hot glue. You can use a variety of marbles, including clear or colored glass marbles, to create different effects and styles. You can also explore different patterns and arrangements to create a personalized and decorative look that suits your taste and style.

Dollar stores are an excellent place to find affordable bags of marbles, while home decor stores may have more unique and specialized options. However, don’t be afraid to use marbles from your own collection, as they can add a sentimental and personalized touch to your candle holder.

Once you’ve gathered your materials, simply apply hot glue to each marble and attach them to the glass jar or vase, working your way around until the entire surface is covered. You can experiment with different shapes and sizes of glass jars or vases to create different effects and sizes of candle holders.

King Sophie’s World – Where Photography Meets Embroidery in a Stunning Art Evolution

In the world of modern art, creative boundaries are constantly being pushed, and one artist who is leading the charge in an innovative and inspiring way is Sophie, the mastermind behind King Sophie’s World. Sophie is redefining what it means to blend traditional needlework with contemporary art by combining her stunning photography with embroidery. If you haven’t heard of her yet, you’re in for a treat. Let’s take a closer look at how Sophie’s work is pushing the boundaries of art, one embroidered print at a time.

Sophie’s artistic journey is a fusion of two worlds: photography and embroidery. As an artist, she captures beautiful, thought-provoking photographs that evoke emotion and capture life’s fleeting moments. But Sophie doesn’t stop there. She then takes those images to the next level by adding her signature embroidery to everyday objects, creating a piece of art that is both striking and meaningful. These embroidered prints aren’t just photographs—they are a  intricate interpretation of her vision, 

This evolution of art, where photography and embroidery meet, is not just innovative; it’s a testament to the evolving ways in which artists are reimagining the classics and experimenting with new techniques. Sophie’s ability to seamlessly blend these two mediums shows just how far the art world has come—and it’s exciting to think about where it’s headed next.

Among the many stunning pieces in Sophie’s collection, her embroidered rose prints stand out as personal favorites. There’s something so striking about the combination of delicate flowers and bold, empowering words. The roses themselves are beautifully photographed, with intricate stitches capturing the softness and elegance of each petal. But it’s the juxtaposition of these gentle flowers with words that encourage strength and confidence that makes them so powerful.

Her rose embroidery prints feature sayings that resonate with many of us—quotes that inspire, uplift, and make us reflect on the importance of self-worth and empowerment. These aren’t just pretty flowers; they’re symbols of resilience, independence, and beauty, much like the women they represent. Every time I look at one of her pieces, it’s like a visual reminder of how we all need to embrace our inner strength and beauty.

What Sophie is doing with her embroidered prints is so cool because it’s a perfect example of how artists are adapting to and evolving with the times. She takes the age-old art of embroidery—something traditionally viewed as delicate and reserved for traditional or vintage works—and reinvents it. By combining it with photography, she breathes new life into both mediums.

Sophie’s work is proof that art doesn’t need to stay stagnant. It’s an ever-changing, ever-growing process that can take on new forms and new meanings. Through her embroidered prints, Sophie is showing the world how art can evolve and how we, as viewers, can continue to be surprised and inspired by these innovations.
