We've had this circa 1930's ashtray stand with cadmium glass just sitting on the workshop floor, for years... just waiting for the right piece to bring it all together.
It never had the top "ashtray" part.
I picked up this shade locally, probably 2 years ago.
One day I walked in there and thought why can't this go with that.
And here we are.

Recently, I'm not very good at keeping up with social media here. I'll work on that.😬

Current project:
An old ashtray stand (I pulled a picture off the web, because I didn't take a before shot🤦‍♀️) with cadmium slag glass, that is being converted to a rather large lamp. We didn't have the "ashtray" part.
It been sitting on the workshop floor until just the right plan exposed itself. We're getting close, so here's a sneak peak... along with a few others

A little story about metamorphosis...
Incase you haven't noticed, we make lights out of iron pipe. I always say, "They're like Lincoln Logs for grown-ups".
Anyway, we make a light... and sometimes I think, (meh)... then we change it.

This lamp is an example of that...

The double was the original.
The second idea was the single with brass pipe and white/clear glass shade.

When I remembered I had a green glass shade, that did it. The brass pipe needed to go.
.. and here we are.
I can't capture how pretty it is.
It's not "Meh" anymore 💚

You'll just have to come check it out at The Millheim Portal
