'Middle Earth' Lantern ~ Stained Glass- From Design to Completion.

Inspired by the theme of my new ( to be) workshop, I've made a lantern which I hope captures the feel of moonlight through a leafy wood.

First I sketched a design...

Then I cut the glass and painted the pieces. I scratch in a design and then the glass is fired in a kiln.

The pieces are then soldered together to make the lantern.

The New Workshop...1. Inspiration- Middle Earth

INSPIRATION

The workshop....this is a catalogue pic from B&Q- NOT mine ( not yet built)

I've decided on a Tolkien's Middle Earth theme for the workshop. I've chosen paint in 'pixie green' for inside and am busy wasting time finding lovely pictures of lanterns and stickers and text from the books to give me ideas on how to adorn my new walls.

The workshop itself will be arriving in pieces this Saturday and I'll be posting the progress from start to finish on here every weekend.

Other artist's lovely lamps...must try to find out who made them to cite them here

I've already bought the door mat and the Moria door sticker from Ebay :))
