Surprisingly it's been about three months since i found this glass light cover at the thrift store (i honestly thought it was 6-8 weeks at most).

Although it didn't take me too long to work out the design and how to attach it, and the wood structure i made pretty quickly, it took me a while to figure out what i was going to do on the bottom and how to hide the screw holes that were going to be left when i assembled it. I decided early on the paua shell dots would be perfect but didn't know what else to do but then came up with what you see here.

I was thinking about carving some sort of pattern into it as well but couldn't decide on anything i was happy with so just left it as is, plus i just wanted to get it finished.

Here's a few pics of it taken outside on the day i finished it.

And here it is hung up inside with a colour changing light bulb. I didn't really play around with it too much but this is the colour setting i settled on at the moment although i might end up changing it. And the glass part doesn't look as white as it does in person as it does in this photo. I just can't seem to be able to take good, accurate pics of my lamps lit up.

Weather is getting better here now, plus daylight savings has started, so i can start working outside again after work and finally finish the frames i've been working on for a while which will be posted when they're done.

Cheers swiz
