These are some lamps I have been messing with. Obviously still need work, but hey, it keeps me busy & out of trouble. This one was wood with holes cut for the rocks, painted black, then the rocks hot glued in place inside. This one was just a lamp shade cut to fit the rocks & hot glued into place. And these are of a Lamp Shade from Hobby Lobby. It has a sticky surface on the top. You are supposed to stick fabric to it, but I decided to try rocks. Then I painted the remainder black. Time will tell if the rocks will stick! It's been interesting! My hands are burned from hot glue, black from paint.... but at least I didn't cut off any fingers with the saw! Colleen

Hi Colleen, I really like your lamps. We have another member who makes incredible lamps and he is a dog also. LOL His user name is snowdog. Run a search, I think you would enjoy his work. Daniel

I really like the ones you paired up with the plain bases. They don't distract the eye from the beautiful rocks themselves! Way to go!
