I've been working on this project for a couple of months now. It wasn't hard to do, I just could not find the right size and shape for a basin for the top. Finally I found this glass dish with etched flowers at Goodwill on Monday, and it cost a whopping $3 so I was able to complete it.
after I painted the lamp base white, I could not get the hardware off the top of it. I tried sawing and hammering it, but it ended up making some chips in the top. Before I damaged it any more, I figured I better just leave the hardware on it and build something up around it. I created a mold out of cardboard and poured plaster of paris inside it so I would have a smooth surface to work with. The hardware is encased in the PoP.

I had alot more pics of what it looked like before and a close-up of the cardboard mold w/ Plaster of Paris in it, but no matter how many times I resized them, they would not upload. I kept getting a message saying they were too big, even though I resized them smaller than these pictures shown- anyone know what I'm doing wrong???

I've had the same problem with some of my pictures and I thought it was my camera. I just retook them - fortunately they were "afters" and not "befores". Posted: 5:52 pm on June 25th
