Like the harps that hold up the shades. They don't come with that ruffeled piece that is over the agate. that is a finding I altered to fit through the tube. The harps have a screw on top. I am going to add something to. I am going to try and finish them tomorrow.<br />Buy yourself that glue. I really think you will LOVE it! Each time I order from Jar Jaf the bill is staggering. I try to get all I can from ETSY instead. Some of the Jar Jaf pieces can be bought one at a time. The smaller they are usually means you HAVE to buy 12 of them. The really nice thing about JJ's online catalog is everything you see on your screen is the exact size! That is very helpful.<br />Give the site time to load there are a ton of pages.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626767881036539940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-4984239790584241112010-11-20T20:51:26.267-06:002010-11-20T20:51:26.267-06:00Your lamps are great Catherine.

I...Catherine, I envy you being able to work metal. I can't stand the feel of it, and it never behaves for me :/<br />The lamp's lovely - natural stones with variations in colour and translucency are wonderful to work with, and you've done a marvellous job here!!<br />Yes, there are more shades of black than there are of white, or green. Lots!! Just try putting two of them side by side,or matching 'black' clothing. Most blacks have evolved from a primary or secondary colour (except perhaps soot or ground up black rock or obsidian) and it usually shows, depending on the light or surface texture, or fading. Colour can be fascinating, and frustrating :)<br />GlendaGlendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956249453834779477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-47326487174968781662010-11-19T21:04:25.399-06:002010-11-19T21:04:25.399-06:00Kristy,

I am sure it would be useless for working on little animals or fur. Not that that is what you had in mind! I just wanted to warn you so you wouldn't be disappointed. <br />Give it time to load there are more than forty pages. The glues are all together close to the bottom.<br />http://jar-jaf.com/wp-content/uploads/JAR-JAF-cat-7-07.pdfCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626767881036539940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518662277111990267.post-66375225124828774572010-11-19T21:02:28.004-06:002010-11-19T21:02:28.004-06:00Catherine, your lamps are trying to kill you.... y...Catherine, your lamps are trying to kill you.... you are killing me !

But your lamps look great so all is well! I recently (like yesterday) was introduced to a new glue which sounds very similar to the one you are referring to...but I got it from a beader.
