Clear glass totems….for any occasion!

I shared this in yesterday's blog, but wanted to do a few close-ups today, just so you can see the detail in the design!

The cake looks real, doesn't it?

Well, the cupcakes are!  But the cake isn't.

 Colleen made this by painting hat boxes white.  Layering with silk flowers.  And fabric ribbon.

Yes, that is fabric you are looking at around the top edge.  Sure looks like icing, doesn't it?  Look at the bottom….a row of fabric on the table and a row of fabric ribbons above it.

She put in some added embellishments such as the little bride among the totems.

and did you notice the glass slipper at the bottom of this totem?

There are lighted glass swans on the table and a few other items such as these candle votes, stacked on top of inverted bowls.  

In this final display, there are LED lights around the table, a crown under the top pedestal, swans in front of the cake….just so much fun!

Hope you have enjoyed seeing all of my sister's wonderful glass totems!

Glass totems by Colleen

A couple of posts back, I shared some of Colleen's work.  Here's more.  These are so much fun.  She's put individual LED lights in the base of most of her totems…just makes the glass sparkle.  You can use them to serve candy….

She has all kinds and sizes…

The bring so much light into a holiday display!

Personally, I think they make me want to just eat more!  Not what I need!!!

She made this display cake out of fabric and hat boxes…..used glass for the topper and the risers. I'll blog close-ups of it later on.  But just look at all the ways to serve your guests using her totems.

This one is decorated specifically for a wedding or party.    Yes, those beads are edible!

We set up this wine display just for fun...

Cheese, crackers, cookies and scarves…. 

Here's my little burlap deer in the midst of this display with fruit added….

And here are the totems serving cheese and crackers amidst the antlers and candles.  I think this is just the perfect winter display!

All of her totems are now for sale in our little store in the Marketplace Shops here in town.  But if there's something you'd like me to price, just let me know.  We are truly having fun being creative together!!!
