The 20" Magnolia Lamp
We are busy with making a
20" Magnolia
lamp, a smaller version
of the well know
Design of Tiffany Studios
NY. The Original
size of this lamp is 26"
in diameter.
These pictures show some
of the
preparation which were necessary
to
transfer the design on the
smaller lamp mold.
The design is drawn on the
mold here,
there will be 3 repeats
for the entire shade.
.
Please do not mind the colors,
I used them
just to seperate the parts
from each other.
Next step is engraving the
mold and repeat
the design on the other
2/3 of the lamp.
i have completed duplicating
the pattern
2 times on the mold. Gudrun
is busy today
with the paper pattern,
to make the
"windows" for drawing and
cutting the glass.
The 360 degree clear film
layout for the
light table will be completed
tomorrow.
This photo is taken while
engraving the lines
of the design.
They will be blackened later,to
make sure
they are visible when a
small layer of
bees wax is on the mold,
which keep the glass
pieces sticking in right
position for soldering.
Here we have all of the glass
we are going
to use for the lamp standing
infront of our
show room`s light wall.
We got our customer`s
OK before starting the glass
work.
