Here's a unique piece which is NOT stained glass. This is a lamp or lantern made of limpet shells, denizens of he oceans. While picking up sea glass, I came across just a few of these shells, and didn't think much of them but found them interesting. Then I learned they are parts of the diets of those who live in warmer climates, and they usually simply discard the shells. Well, I became amused while holding one up to the light, and low and behold, a lamp in the making! Here is the result. The lamp itself is very light in weight and soldered together just as a stained glass piece. I made the wooden base on a lathe, out of mahogany, I believe. Something a bit different from what I have shared in the past. Hope you like it!
