    Has the thread somehow broken - how has @Roddy 's comment become detached from the rest?

    That's fab @April2018mom.  How long did that take you to do?  Do you make anything else?  :smiley:

    Do you use a PC/laptop or mobile device - I could try and provide a How-To for you.

    Wow Roddy these are fabulous.  No idea how glass is moulded and sculpted.  How big are the panels?

    You're incredibly talented @Roddy. These are spectacular. Do you sell these? I imagine they'd be really popular.

    I 'try' to sell them, yes @Adrian_Scope but they are not low-cost items, especially when they contain rare & desirable items of glass (such as the fish which were produced by Lacroix)  Each separate fish alone has a value of £180 for example and having 3 is very rare indeed. I've not marketed the lamp yet... My panels start at say £350 once adapted to lamps and rise to above £950... A lot of work is involved to produce these items, but I get a lot of enjoyment during each stage of the process. I used to be a glass-blower as to why I admire glass as a working medium...

    I am just blown away by them, particularly the fish lamp.  You are a very talented individual..  you really should try and market them.

    No. It didn’t take me more than two hours to make.

    @marmalade 'Skill' only takes a lot of practice and commitment, that's all. Oh, and you have got to enjoy what you do otherwise the work will suffer. I'm not very good at anything else except for what I can do...  Once I've completed the lamp bases I'll add some photo's of the finished pieces for you later this year.

    Just made this today! It is a puzzle vase. 
    That's ever so good! It reminds me of leaded light windows :-)
