Many years ago I was making slumped glass plates and bowls and as the plates were round and the material was square I had a lot of scraps just sitting there and a more or less boredom waiting for the glass to bend so I made my own Dodecahedron-ish lamp that I recently bumped into again and thought I would share . I had started to point the pentagons out but they were close/far enough out to look more like a mistake than an even sphere or decently pointed star, so I pointed them in to be more diatomaceous crystal ot\r something.
after years of hanging around it is somewhat worse for wear
I “inherited” (as in, “please help me clean out my junk by taking it all home with you” ) my mom’s stained glass tools and supplies. I’ve made some small things like jewelry and business card holders, but haven’t tackled anything bigger yet.
Soldering is soldering, cutting glass is a bit tricky but straight edges are not so much. Even cutting circles is not hard with a circle tool, I made stencils and dusted enamel between two layers of window glass and heated in molds till the glass relaxed. Doing similar with Acrylic might be very interesting.
I made all sorts of things up to 24" diameter but I can’t find old pictures and only this little candy dish among my stuff.
