Description This lamp was all my design based on the lines of the earth in Nicaragua, a land known for lava, volcanoes, and earthquakes. The cliffs along the coast (The ring of fire) are undulating in their layers, which inspired this design. The lines of color wrap around the lamp, all connecting, and are of transparent and opaque and translucent glasses in the red to yellow range. The lamp includes jewels at the top and bottom, and has a copper patina on the lead lines. It sits on a brass base, and is for sale on [link] for $800. This lamp took 5 years in the making, mostly because all the glass used was incredibly brittle and because I changed the design so much. Many other works took precedence, but this one finally got finished the other day, and I am very happy with it. It now graces my coffee table until it can grace someone else's!

It makes me think..."perfect."
It really is, the design flows into each other nicely, the colors tell a story, the shapes and textures integrate well.
I like the idea of adding a copper tone to the leading, it's not really able to see in this picture but it sounds just right.

If I had $800, it would definitely be yours in a heartbeat. I love this lamp, and these types of lamps. I have one back home in Virginia and I absolutely adore it.

Beautiful work!

If that was a Sims 2 object, it would send the Room value straight through the roof.

damn I was gonna ask if it was for sale anywhere, exactly what I've been looking for for an Art Deco base I bought, but $800 is probably a little bit beyond me! Beautiful work tho

When i first saw this I was like 'ff. It's a lamp.' But then I read the Artist's comment, looked back at the picture, and went, 'Wow. That really is amazing.'
