MURPHY. N. C
for a fascinating hobby of
collecting odd-shaped bottles
and making lamps from them.
According to Mrs. Dockery,
most of the bottles are
collected along the road, others
containing fruit juice, cooking
oil, syrup, etc. are bought at
local stores.
The bottle serves as a base
for the lamp. The electrical
switch is placed over the
opening of the bottle and
securely attached to he bottle.
The dark bottles are usually
left their original color. The
other bottles are coated with a
glaze solution which comes in
many different colors. This
solution, when applied with a
brush, makes its own designs or
patterns.
A few of the bottles are
covered with sea shells. These
are glued to the outer surface of
the bottle, leaving only a
handle of glass visible. The
shells used come mostly from
Florida and are brought to her
by a son.
The bottles with a large base
are fllledwithcrushed glass of a
variety of colors. This makes
the base heavier and prevents
the lamp6 from toppling over.
Her largest lamp stands 36
inches tall, serves as a floor
lamp and is not made from a
bottle. The base is made from
the metal reflector of a
spotlight. The pole or "stem"
is made from a large cardboard
mailing tube, and placed atop
this is i plastic fruit bowl. Hie
lamp socket is placed in the
fruit bowl with the cord
hidden in the cardboard tube.
The entire lamp has been
sprayed with gold paint.
She has also made several
lamps from cactus wood and
rocks, ranging in size from 16
inches to 36 inches.
"My interest in craft started
about 30 years ago," says Mrs.
Dockery. "I started by making
flowers from crepe paper.
Lamps have been a hobby for
about eight years. Most of my
work is given to my children
almost as soon as it is finished.
They see these items, say they
want them, so I just give 'em to
them."
Aside from making lamps,
she does a great variety of
centerpieces, wall plaques and
crochets afghans.
One of her most beautiful
centerpieces, a huge pink bird.
This is m..de from an
assortment of light pink
.feathers; /lark pink net and
styrofoara. His bill is made
from a piece of black cloth
material attached to the
styrofoam with gold sequins
and his eyes are sequins also.
The hidden base of this
centerpiece is half of a plastic
gallon jug. The bird sits in a
plastic bowl resembling a bird
bath, the bowl is mounted on a
short pedestal. A flower
arrangement of lilac and
sweetpeas surrounds the base.
The dolls, also centerpieces,
are made from feathers,
ribbons and styrofoam.
The afghans are corcheted
from brightly colored yarn and
are as large as 64" by 84". The
throw covets crocheted for
chairs and sofas vary in size,
according to he objects for
which they are made.
