This lamp came about as a result of a mock-up for another commission I was working on. It was too big for the project I wanted to use it for so I made a small night light out of it. It features two pieces of square foil with folded edges that were heated up to red hot and then left to air cool. The finish on the copper is a true fire finish. Moving the flame around and in-and-out makes a wonderful, irregular, "smokey" finish. The foils are then pulled partway into a 4"tube to help with creating the distorted, hand shaped bloom. The center is a rolled piece of bronze screen. It is sewn together with bronze threads taken from other screens. The base is a mottled brown Paperstone block (a counter top material) that has been cut, sanded, and polished. The feet are copper. It is 9"across x 10” high. It uses one candelabra based, LED bulb.
