Title: Lamp
Post by: Graham Lee on February 02, 2018, 12:08:19 PM
At Twist & Shout Christena was looking for inspiration and decided to make a lamp.
I helped a very little on the design and said I would have a play when I got home.
So a little while later and here is my lamp,
I might add some pen work to the shade to make it a little more tiffany like.

This is the one Christena made and I think I just added the puff inflated
although we did not take a picture once the black was added all the way around.

Thanks Rob, I had a play with version two this morning.

I changed the top, added an electrical lead and also put in a pull switch for the shade.

The pull switch shoes up better on the white background.

Then with lights on and off, trying to get the best shot.
I think I will go and do some pen work on the hearts.
It might look better.......then again it might not!
Only one way to find out.

And with the more Tiffany look.
Added pen work to the art work ;-)

I made a few more lamps over the weekend and to be honest I think
that every one has got worse rather than better than the original.

Another version of the lamp. I made this in a competition and had
to make it within 30 minutes. I had 2 minutes to spare.

Then I made this one from a 16" geo blossom.

The last of the lamps I made white attending the BBB.
