This is an original clay and beeswax artwork created by Cheryl LaRue of Grain Bin Pottery
The work depicts a small, intricately designed candle resting on a heart-shaped base. The heart itself is made from a medium brown glazed ceramic, with a smooth surface that reflects light subtly and shows a carved design. Its edges are softly rounded, enhancing the gentle and tender vibe typically associated with heart shapes.
Positioned centrally on the heart is a beautifully crafted flower candle resembling a rose, distinguished by its layered, delicate petals. The flower is made with beeswax and has light blue glitter brushed on the tips of some petals. Each petal is finely detailed, suggesting careful handiwork.
Symbolically, the combination of the heart and rose motif conveys themes of love, affection, and beauty, often linked to romantic sentiments or heartfelt appreciation. The craftsmanship emphasizes a careful, personal touch, adding sentimental value beyond its aesthetic appeal. Such items are typically treasured for their warmth and the gentle emotions they evoke.
