My Belated Menorah

I know I'm a little past the season when it comes to talking about a Menorah, but I didn't have an art blog back then so I'm showing it off now. Ms. Lindsay, our teacher, glued the glass bottles to a wooden board and then gave us a bunch of different containers of colored sand to choose from. We scooped out the colors we wanted with a spoon to fill the bottles in rainbow layers. It took a really long time to complete. I can't remember exactly but I think we worked on filling the bottles during four different classes.

Next Ms. Lindsay glued a little metal ring on top of each bottle to seal it off and give us a place to stick the candles.

During the first night of Hanukkah, my Sabba wanted to know where we bought that beautiful Menorah. He had no idea I had made it myself. So far, it has been the funnest project in my art class, and I'm really proud of it.
