Shaped like a lotus, this candleholder sheds a light on the unique beauty of recycled art. Thailand's Somyot Sawasdee recycles the bottom of an aluminum can for the tea-light tray, and crafts the holder by hand recycling paper with cement. The Thai artisan's expertise is evident in the detail of the holder, which is painted with green and gold paint to create the illusion of an aged bronze piece.

Unique”

I really like it but I wish the center was a shade different color than the rest for it to stand out. It was very well packaged.

Lovely, but fragile”

This sculpture is lovely and looks exactly as shown. However, the seahorses nose broke off the first time I picked it up. I was able to glue it back together, but its very fragile.

Heart Wall Sculpture”

This arrived in record time and is absolutely gorgeous! The picture does it no justice. Thank you Somyot, you are truly gifted and I love the idea of you recycling instead of contributing to pollution.
