RAPA-NUI tiki art lamps wall sconces!!! on ebay now!!

..here's the first of a pair of matching wall sconces. Made of wood, fabric and yep, you guessed it, an empty pisco moai bottle......i wanted to make something different that required the use of the empty bottle, and since i had 2 on hand, i figured i'd make a pair of sconces.....the bottle is actually removable from the base...it just slides into a custom cut hole and is actually illuminated from the bulb underneath it, not as much as i would have liked it to, but the only other option was to cut the bottom off the bottle and have an extra bulb in the bottle itself. This posed problems on how to cut the glass cleanly and without creating a hazard via cuts from sharp glass.....well, after destroying one bottle during the process i decided against it......anyway, here it is!! the other sconce will be finished shortly...i will be posting the pair on ebay as soon as they are complete...i'll be asking alittle more for these as they took longer to make and have some details.......i'll post the ebay link as soon as they are ready.
