I got a solid amount of time in the garage-studio today. This enabled me to finish off three more Artisan Lamps that I got started yesterday afternoon. That makes six now - so I'm over halfway to my goal of ten.
I'm quite liking this series - most tend to be a little smaller and have a good quirk factor.
A couple of photos of the selected pieces for two of the lamps before grinding and polishing etc.

good feeling to have got that far at the end of the day. Though I could not leave the garage-studio before giving it a though vacuum and putting tools away - the place was a mess - need a clean space to get moving on the next four lamps.
Gosh your shuttle lamp with the hinged arm is a beauty and have never seen an Edison light bulb, must be very old... even older than me!
ReplyDeleteThere are certain bits that resonate when you make your artisan lamps ... this time around it was/is the shuttle, which matches a couple in our "pantry"
ReplyDeleteLove how your shuttle evokes a sailing vessel ...
Good heavens, these are wonderful artistic/artisan lamps!!
