Stacked Amber Globes Pumpkin Totem Pole

After I made this   Crackle Glass Pumpkin 

I remember I had other amber glass globes in my inventory that I had bought when I had an Antique Store ... so started digging and guess what I found

 ... enough amber glass globes to make a Stack of Pumpkins ... actually planned to be a pumpkin Totem Pole with painted-on faces ... but that did not happen. 

During the 1960's/1970's ... swag lights were very popular ... one large globe hanging on a chain on each side of the bed or twin ones over a vanity. When they began to be popular again and when I was selling on eBay and had a shop, I was buying the lights really cheap ... like $5.00 or less ... so I stocked up. Out of those businesses now ... SO ... still have stock. 

 

I started with this ... a base for an old floor lamp ... and five amber (pumpkins) globes. 

 

I started stacking ... 

1-2  

 3-4    

5 ...  

and adding a finial to the top ... a burlap bow between each one and some burlap strings to the top for hair as it was to become a face, NOT. 

(later added Fall leaves and berries in the bows) 

...

and it became a part of my front porch Fall 
decoration.  
 

Mice are eating the corn again.

Old pitchfork or hay fork.

Morning and afternoon sun really lights it up.  Look closely at the top globe and you can see reflections of the trees ... and now it becomes a gazing ball. 

Very tall and heavy.    

 

 Added some Fall leaves and berries to the burlap bows.

Kinda funky, don't you think ???

Hope you have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the visit.
