It looks to me like the pattern is already drawn INTO the plastic mold. Am I right? That would make it a lot easier. Thank you for the video. I would love to see how you’re progressing! What is your next step? 😅Kathie 🐢
Yes, It's an Odyssey. You get the mold with the pattern already 'grooved' to the FIBERGLASS (not plastic) mold. After completing all the glass pieces- copperfoiling. Thank you for watching.
A couple questions. I'm doing the Wild Rose lamp myself at the moment. When you cut out your pattern it looked like you just used normal scissors and cut on the mid line of each pattern piece. Isn't that going to give you pieces that are too large? Seems like you're going to have to do additional grinding later to get everything fitting properly. I generally cut out the majority of the black line between the pieces, leaving just a small amount of black showing. On other lamps I've done, I find this gives me good spacing without having to do lots of grind to fit. Interested in thoughts on this. I also generally do all my work on a flat clear piece of plexiglass while working on a light box so I can see how the selected glass colors & textures look. This way I can make any adjustments needed before committing everything to the mold. Feel this goves me the ability to make changes as I progress if the transmitted look isn't what I want. One I have everything cut, ground and foiled I then stick the pieces on the mold and do my soldering. I actually useca rotational jig thst I designed which holds the mold and allows me to tilt the jig to keep my soldering flat and parallel. Will be interested to see how you solder your lamp. Exactly which Youghiogheny glass types & models are you using? Are you using just RG or are you mixing types? Would be interested to see the exact model #s you're using for the rose colors, leaves, bordercrows and background.
Hi. Yes, I cut my pattern midline, but I cut on the inner side of the line on my glass, gives you the same result. Regarding the light table, I normally do what you do, but I feel like the design is simple enough and with my light table that takes so much space, it's not necessary to take it out. A small glass with tacky wax is all I need to see how the glasses look under the light. When I have all the pieces, I'll have a final look on the light table before foiling. Glass is not all Reproduction.
@@theresevarney4715 It's not done. I only work on it whenever I feel like it on my spare time. If I want to, I can probably finish a shade in a about a month.
Compliments on your filming easy to watch and understand your process. Looking forward to seeing the shade progress 😊
Thank you so much. Please subscribe so you follow the progress.

Such attention to detail!!
Appreciate the comment. Thank you Laura.
So beautiful!❤
Thank you very much.
Beautiful!
it will be. =) Thank you.
No entiendo.
Estas pegando las piezas al molde.
Y despues ¿ Como se despegan ?
It's not glue, it's called tacky wax. It soften when heated, sticky when dry.
Hi. Where you got mold and patterns?
At my local stained glass supplier. They have an online presence at sgw.net
I wish you would have told us what you were using and why?
so talented!
So kind. Thank you.

How long did it take to complete this lamp?

@@neloleon I understand, it's lovely so far! I'll just check back later! 😊
What did you melt and painted on the mold
I think these lamps should have Tiffany Co. prices. Tiffany doesn't go through all of this to make their lamps! Great job, Ma'am!
Thank you.
Sorry nothing will ever be a dale Tiffany lamp or window😄
@@Justseemei Maybe a Tiffany Studios lamp, but a Dale? I hope you're joking. =)
Goooooooood
Thank you
I love Tiffany lamps can anyone do this I would love a mushroom lamp. 🤔😍
Anyone with a lot of patience can. It's a great hobby.
Halo donde consigo el patron
i got mine from sgw.net
It is going to take you forever to make that lamp....too much effort..
I take my time and enjoy the process, I'm in no hurry.
Your process is too slow and inefficient. You should watch other people make these.
I take my time because I enjoy the process. No reason to rush.
Don't mind me. I have bipolar disorder.@@neloleon
