Blooming Flower Chandelier

Custom made light-chandelier. Lampworked glass. 4x3.5x3.5 feet. The client was extremely trusting, considering I only gave her a scratchy, crudely drawn blueprint. The next light will be the same setup, only flipped to be a table-top lamp. Thanks for checking it out. jop

_________IN MY OWN WORDS________
i believe that the beauty of glass sculpting comes from the never ending struggle for perfection in theory and in execution. The art is not in the finished piece itself; the art is in the process of physically making the work.

Sick!
Nice to see some other chandeliers. I really like this one, well put together aesthetically, and as far as I can tell, mechanically. Tim
