Lampshade of Roses....


Oh my goodness it is finally done. This past year I have been working on a lampshade and nothing else (except fused glass). Yesterday afternoon I finally finished it and became the proud owner of a beautiful stained glass lampshade. Of course I still have yet to purchase the lamp base, but that will get done sometime in the near future. I seem to enjoy making the lampshades, but not buying the bases.


This lampshade was my biggest project yet. I am proud that I didn't stray from it and that I completed it within the year. There were some bumps in the road though. The lampshade is constructed in three sections. One of the sections sort of didn't meet the edges of the other two sections. It was fixed but I keep wondering why it happened. Maybe the next time (bwhahaha) I do a lampshade it will be on a whole form instead of a section form.


Now that it is done, I can keep up with postings, glasswork, and enjoying my summer!
