Here are some pictures from copperfoiling the
glass pieces of the lamp:

We have started with soldering this morning.

Here are some pictures which show, how we solder
the larger gaps at the end of the insect´s wings:
 

We use smaller pieces of  those pads. When they
are wet, they are good for temporary filling up the gaps
while soldering.

The lamp was ready to get off the mold tonight.
As usual I put 3 light bulbs 100Watts each
underneath the mold. Due to the rather massive
wooden construction it took much longer than usual,
until the wax was warm enough to allow
separating the lamp from the mold.
 
 

The "lower end" was kept unsoldered to the
part of the lamp which was at upper end of the
aequator of the lamp mold.

I have fixed the two  parts with my bridges,
this allowed to put them together later very easy.
