I love the fact you are using actual glass instead of plastic as some do, plastic just don't look the same at all. My dad has a old floater ball from when he was in the Navy and stationed at Diego Garcia. He found it on the beach there and the sucker is pretty damn heavy, plus it has several smaller bubbles in the glass at the base. I would love to make it a lamp but am terrified of even the remotest chance of it breaking. I wonder if it would look good lit from underneath somehow on a base or something? What do you think?
