This was my first lamp. Found the design online for free. Shopping for the glass was fun especially the pink glass, found a beautiful textured whispy/streaked for that. The purple in the throat of the Costas Hummingbird came from Alberta where Peter (my neighbour) found in a glass shop and thought of me. Thanks Peter. I also used this glass in the purple drop lattice design.
366 pieces total.
This lamp went to my mother for Christmas. Monica always liked it so I am willing it to her next.
