I was inspired to do this lamp when I saw a similar lamp in a stained glass shop in San Juan Bautista. I asked if they might know where I could buy the form and pattern and was given a very cold shoulder. Thinking that I might try making my own form and pattern (something that I'd never tried to do before), I asked if they would mind if I took a few pictures. They asked us to leave.
When we got home, I checked to see if the shop had a website. They did and the picture on the main page was of the lamp that they wouldn't let me photograph. I was in business and went on to create my own form and pattern.

Finding the correct brass for this lamp was particularly difficult. I finally found a website with all of the pieces and a person on the phone to assure me that all would go together. Even then, I ordered the rods in a couple of different lengths so I could experiment to see what worked best.
