Getting Your Own Decorative Craft Chandeliers

By Roger Morris


Especially when we get around to talking about the confines of your home, then there should be no limit to wildcat all over the place with unbounded artiness and creativity. If you are a creative spirit, you probably cannot stomach the banality and ordinariness of bromidic places. Aside from getting staple implements, why dont you get yourself some decorative craft chandeliers.

There are many facets to great art. Anyone could, right now, get up a clump of sticks, stick it atop a hill of dirt, and call it fancy names like the Spiral Jetty or the Persistence of Memory. Really, though, we were just pulling your leg up there and just pelting fun at some postmodernist art. The above mentioned are really good artworks if you check them out.

Anyway, the main point of that embarrassing screed is that beauty, and the perception of it, is very much relative. There lies the great struggle in Art. After all, the starving artist, though it is a hackneyed term, is not so much figurative as literal. One has to make a great living in this enterprise. You have all the creativity and imagination at your disposal, but the question is that if it meshes well with the imagination and idea of creativity of the audiences right there.

Take chandeliers, for example. For artisans, furniture makers, and whatnot, its pretty much easy to make the basic chandelier. Just see to the main branch, sub branches, buckets, bulbs, and voila, you have got yourself a lighting contraption. However, that seems to have been taken as a serious insult by all the well meaning artists out there.

Your greatest nemesis, in this regard, is therefore not seemingly screwed up art, but an object that has not been poured with effort, in the first place. If beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, then the nub of the matter is to have something to behold upon, to admire, and to pass judgment on.

This plight explains so much about the subjectivity of art. How some artworks and styles and movements are looked down by some and upheld by others. There is even art that is not considered as such, but rather as a pretender or an all out abomination. So much for subjectivity.

Really, though, when something is so well contrived and well designed, it can be deemed as fine art, never mind its relative beauty, but its distinction in other more important people oriented areas. Of course, fine art is yet another broad appellation in itself. It may subsume painting, photography, drawing, sculpture and other visually appealing objects of quality, something that stimulates the emotion, intellect, or else ones appreciation for beauty.

When one thinks of chandeliers, the lighting contraption that often comes to mind are those in, say the great palace of Versailles or the modern hotel of Venetian. Although detailing is quite hard on the minds eye, and visualization is quite a tough piece of work, we seem to have more trouble visualizing a plain chandelier than an ornate one. And rightly so. After all, this strobe will soon be the centerpiece of your home, and you had better make sure it does your WHOLE home justice.

Decorative craft is concerned with objects of utility. And such is the application here. After all, before anything else, functionality is the nitty gritty. This is essentially an area where aesthetics and utility are carefully balanced out and evened out with each other.
