16″ Clematis Lamp
I made this lamp in December and it’s the perfect example of not paying attention to the glass you decide to use in a project. Unlit, the background was a very light wispy green. The leaves were a DARK solid green that went well with the dark blue and purple flowers. I never lit up both pieces of green and held them next to each other to make sure there was enough contrast in them. After the lamp was finished I discovered that the leaves washed out with light behind them and the background actually got darker making them VERY similar.
The lamp is very nice but it wasn’t the look I was originally going for in this particular lamp. Because of this the lamp will not be staying in my living room and is for sale for $400.00
Considering this was the first lamp I made in 5 years I have to say that it went together extremely well. Next week I’ll be making a 11″ Magnolia lamp which is the lamp we start students on when they graduate to the lamp class. Pictures will be posted next week of the finished lamp.
