My second piece of glass was finished a while ago. I was wondering how difficult it would be to create a lampshade. It turns out it just needs a cardboard cone as a former and then lots of time 🙂
The aim of most of my creations is just to be aesthetically pleasing. I don’t often create anything “useful”. This one was an interesting project, but somehow not as satisfying as my first piece Light and Glass. Maybe the reason is it’s too obvious and doesn’t leave enough for the viewer’s imagination. What do you think?
I love glass. I must return to it some time.

I just create things for myself. Maybe one day I’ll make enough to sell (and have enough time outside my day job!) To be honest I don’t really want to lose anything I make – how do professional artists say goodbye to things they create?

they replace it with cashola so they can create some more. I kind of equate what you do with me cooking and baking. it’s a lotta fun to do and it makes others happy. besides, it keeps me off the streets, out of taverns and out of jail.

I like that :). I think it would be even more awesome if the open end was down instead of toward the ceiling. Might be awesome, too, as a shade on a table lamp or bedside lap…maybe on one of those skin sensitive laps where you touch the base and the light comes on.

Funny you should say about it looking better upside down – it was meant to be a desk lamp, but the slope wasn’t steep enough so if I made it a desk lamp you would see half the light bulb! That’s what comes of making it up as I go and not planning haha! Maybe touch sensitive for my next project – great idea.

Thank you Anna 🙂 They are beautiful colours, but next piece I shall move away from greens and blues and try something I am less comfortable with.

You really should, do you paint the glass after you have shaped it or beforehand?

The glass is already coloured all the way through when I buy it. I just choose the colour I want. Red is the colour that’s worst to work with – it’s more brittle than the other colours and sometimes doesn’t break in a straight line.

This is so much better than Tiffany! The colour is well chosen and makes for a wonderful atmosphere. As for me, I like the obvious as much as non-obvious artwork; I am sure many people would love to have such a lamp in their home, there is sort of a calmness and understanding when you look at the ‘obvious’. 🙂 Keep up working with glass, it suits you!!

It is time consuming but the results are rewarding.
I like them both, light elimination is what makes them really beautiful.

Beautiful lamp.
One day I got tired of cleaning houses for other people and decided to jump into the adventure of making a living from my creations. Every single piece is a new experience to learn from. Fortunately nowadays I can take images from the finished stuff, so when I sell it to my beloved clients who allow me to survive from what I like doing most, I have copies. And the small flat is stuffed enough, anyway.
