It looks like a bowl right now but, this is the top of the lamp. A large hole will be drilled into the center and attached to the side wood.

this is the side of the floor lamp the green plate will be turned over to act like a dome top. The wood will have holes cut out of it and then the glass rods and transparent rocks can be attached. This wood piece is 3 feet in diameter and 10 in high.

All of the holes cut out and one of the brass pieces in place. The brass will act like a molding for the glass and wood.

Hello my name is Marcus Knowles. Glass has been a recent introduction in my life. In the summer of 2005 I made my first piece. I have been nothing but inspired by everything that I see. Galleries that I visit and web sites that I view give all too much inspiration. I am always looking for the next great idea and design. In no time at all I feel like I have imersed myself in this culture and surrounded myself with people that can help attain the next idea.
My father helps gives expertice with his life-long persuit of artistic ideas. My roommate has years of stained glass experience and helped me get a foothold on a start. I have also been greatful of Mike Jutten who has helped in starting a love for fusing and slumped glass. He can be visited at www.mikesglassworks.com.
I have appreciated the glassartists.org web site and I thought I could show what I have been working on. Thank you for visiting.
