My Flowering Lotus lamp and base are done!
The shade is a Tiffany reproduction and the base is a copper sculpture with water lily buds and flowers and is surrounded with Psalm 23 The Lord leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul.
I made the shade many years ago and sold it to very close friends who recently gifted it back to me. I made the copper sculpture base to complement the shade and am keeping the lamp for our own family.

Nearing completion of this 34 inch tall copper sculpture lamp base of a pond scene with water lilies. The lamp shade to go on this base is a Tiffany reproduction of his Flowering Lotus as seen in the last picture.
I am adding a Bible verse to go around the bottom of the base from Psalm 23. (The Lord) leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
A LOT of cleaning before the rich warm brown patina is added.

A great day to visit the studio. Dark and rainy weather shows off the lamp colors beautifully. But call ahead as I am easily distracted!

I have not posted this lamp in a while. It is made of sliced and polished Petrified Wood shades on a copper sculpture tree base. It measures 42 inches tall and 24 inches across and has 4 separate shades inserting into the base. It is the most difficult lamp I've ever worked on and weighs about 70 pounds.

I just finished this lamp today and am happy to show off a bit!
The shade is made of copper sculpture branches over sliced and polished Blue Mixon agate provided by my friend Wayhu Rizon from Indonesia. The leaves and acorns adorning the skirt of the shade are copper sculpted White Oak.
It measures approximately 17 inches across and 24 inches tall and illuminated with 4, 60 watt equivalent LED bulbs.

Everything is in the messiest stage of development but the pictures show the first set of Oak leaves and acorns temporarily attached to this 16 inch wide lamp shade and the second set of leaves being soldered together for their own placement on the shade.
Lots more work to do but this is a very rewarding stage in the creation of this lamp.
