I have been working on the glass float panel lately. The design of the panel is based on a panel and a lamp I saw at Oceanic Arts in Whittier. They sell the small glass floats in many sizes and colors. Bob and LeRoy told me how they made them back then and retrieved some old stock of rounded seashells from me. That made my day! Here is a pic of the panel hanging at Oceanic Arts in Whittier I found the crushed seashells at Joann. My only concern is that once in place the color intensity seems to fade on some floats. I could not figure why, may be the wall too close to the floats? I painted the wall white and installed a string of LED all around. No matter if I put the LED brighter or not the color is not as dense as in the daylight.
