I've been an avid collector of Art Deco glass for 50+ years, and I was also a glass blower during the 1980s - 1990s, but more recently I've been designing & producing carved-glass panels (as a hobby & pastime) which I then make electrical lamp bases for as decorative items.
Glass sculptures in particular are propelled into another dimension and will look at their optimum best if they are lit from beneath, and so with this in mind I decided to produce custom-made lamp bases for some of the sculptures & figurines in my collection.
Taking inspiration from carvings upon The Chanin Building, New York (see first pic) I used a variety of sea shells, buttons & carved pieces of wood to create an aquatic scene for 3 French Art Deco opalescent glass fish. I used various metallic paints to provide the piece with a vintage bronze effect finish. Working with real marble is way out of my league, and so I created a sturdy base from wood (in which to hide the electrical lamp components) and then created a marble effect by hand using black & white paint...
