Lonely Blossom

Lonely Blossom

After getting tremendously positive feedback for the first wooden light fixture I made “Beech Blossom,” I decided it was time to create another.  I learned a lot for the first lamp, which inspired the slightly different shade shape on this one.  When the lamp is turned on and the wood starts to warm up, you can ever see the “peddles” of the shade slightly open up.  Subsequently, when the lamp is turned off it returns to a more closed position, almost like a flower going to sleep at night.  I wish I could say I planned that, but I did not.  What can I say, “Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while!”
