Worden and Odyssey Lamps
JK wrote:
Very nice job for a 1st lamp! ************** Thank you for the kind words, JK. I had a lot of help from the good folks in the group here. Of course, the light is kind and tends to draw attention to the glass instead of the workmanship. There are some gaps between pieces that are too big. I'm also not totally thrilled with a couple of my glass choices. This next lamp will be a different experience, being an Odyssey instead of a Worden. On the Worden I did the fit, grind, foil, and solder in many iterations. With the Odyssey I plan on coating the mold with beeswax and sticking the parts on there and fitting and grinding and then foiling them all at once and then soldering all at once. I'm thinking this will prove to be a more efficient method. The Odyssey is also going to hang from the ceiling, so I'm going to get some experience with the mechanics of that. Michael |

You'll always be your harshest critic. 99.9% of folks that look at what you make will only see the pretty glass.... you will see the workmanship. -- JK Sinrod www.SinrodStudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |
