Chandelier


This chandelier will be in the kitchen of the house I am planning to build. It is made of brass and oxidized black, hopefully it looks aged. The four arms were pierced out of brass and the center was turned on a Unimat. Yes, I can wire it.

Francis Whittemore blew the white shade and chimney for me. Thankfully, I still have a lot of the glass he made for me.

  1. Welcome to the land of 'Blog'....I think it is right to say, once you have started a blog your life is never quite the same.
    I look forward to many many more posts.

    Enjoy, Linda

  5. Hello Catherine - welcome to blogging! I've had a blog for less than four weeks and already it's been amazing in terms of seeing what people make and do, and being a part of a thriving miniatures community online. It's very welcoming and friendly.
    Your metalwork certainly is interesting and extremely well made! Looking forward to seeing more.

  8. That's a really neat lamp there! I just discovered your blog but have myself to blame. I have been out of running this past spring and summer. But its so cool to see new artisans around. Your work looks very detailed and in proportion. I'm gonna stroll a bit further. Pleased to meet you.
