things you can do with old lamp parts

15 years ago

This is Senor Blanco and he's made of old milk glass lamp pieces. His moustache is made of red chile glass beads. The bits of "coal" are old glass beads I scavanged from a mangled brooch I found at a thrift store. The little flowers are also glass. The "greenery" is from a curb shopping expedition.

Senor Blanco is adorable. What a clever idea and I agree it could be lit up since it's made from a lamp. What a great project you've made.
