I got a new camera for xmas so thought I would try to post a pic of one of my hanging lamps that I made from rock slabs that I cut and polish ---no gold but still pretty!!!

That didn't work too good ---and its there twice!!!----thought I down-sized that but must have inlarged it instead---will have to try again when the brain is working better

Snowdog, here is a great program for changing picture sizes. Leonard sent this to me laong time ago and if I can work it anyone can. You have to go to the site and download it, that's free. Once you have it installed and running select thepicture you wnat to change and then go to the image icon, select Resize/Resample and ou can see how to do the rest

Snowdog, THAT is simply stunning! WOW! Move over, Louis Comfort Tiffany...we have SNOWDOG on the CP forum.

Did you do all the lead work as well????

You must be one patient man! HowEVER did you slice so many so thin, to make them translucent like that!

WOW WOW AND WOW AGAIN!!!!!!!

Is that a bird where the arrow is pointing at? :D

Was the bird a happy accident, or did you plan that? ^_^
You could make mini night lights out of single pieces also. I know I would use one.
The last one you showed us looked like fish scales. Very cool Dave! B)

one more time---another lamp

Those are way cool Snowdog... I wouldn't mind having one of those lamps or one similar. How about donating one of them to the fund raising auction?
Thanks for sharing,
geno

Beautiful Dave! ^_^ You do great work. How many hours did it take you to make this? A couple hundered?
It looks like there is alot of time and love in them.

How much does one of these sell for on an average?
