I cast a blank and then carve the lamps so that each one is different. These are not on the Wish List and are for sale. I already posted one but I will show it again. They are around a foot tall and have a removable top. You may choose the color of glaze and then the lamp will become part of the Wish List #7. THIS IS LAMP NUMBER TWO. $250 You choose a color and wire it yourself. I cast a couple of HUGE Maori Lamps but I didn't have any wishes for them so I'll experiment with them. I cleaned it up and started carving the sides. All Done and Posing................................ I decided to add to the eyes. The shadow makes one look tipped back. It isn't. The rest I carved. I place a hole at the bottom for the chord. I build a removable lid for the top. This makes adding the lamp parts easy. =================================================== LAMP NUMBER ONE. $250 you choose a color and wire it yourself. All Done and Posing....................................... I added clay inside the eyes also. =========================== LAMP NUMBER THREE is the one I worked on for more days than the first two. I added a lot of clay and carved it too. $400 you choose up to four colors of glaze and wire it yourself. I found a new tool to use with this lamp. Curlers!!! I added a lot of clay to the front and then I used the curlers to make circles to follow for the floats. I filled each circle with clay and smoothed it. I also began the carving. Once the clay was added (on both sides) I let it sit overnight in a plastic bag to firm up and then the next day I added rope. I put it on and later I went back and carved some detail. The rope is done. Then I completed the carving all over the lamp. Done and Posing.............. ============================================================ This shows the lamps. I made tops for each of them plus one extra. Well I needed three extras because three of the four cracked. I will remake the lids soon. If anyone wants one just send me a personal message. Cheers, Wendy PS Thank you Tyber Tiki for asking for thinking up this lamp and asking it to be your Wish a few years back. [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2017-02-13 08:50 ]
