Here are some of the lamps I have made. I will add more pictures as old photos are found and new lamps are made. Mahalo to all that have added my crafts to your home and bar. If you want something that you see here, I can make it or most any custom order. Just send me a PM or email. Most of the lamps can be finished on the top in case it is hung where it can be seen from above. If you have a low ceiling they can be swagged in a corner of a room for great effect.
Tabletop version
I've done the shrunken head, pufferfish. jellyfish and more inside a netted float

Thanks everyone. Humbled by praise from two of the best makers of lamps. I'm sure some of my "ideas" came from both of you. I made a mug once that looks like more TikiToNy than Bongofury. Here are a few more...

This light is awsome!!
See it's when you make suff like that I love ya and hate ya at the same time.
I want to make that light, like right now.
But you did it and it's your design now, so that's the hate ya part.
Great stuff.
You and KAHAKA come up with these great ideas that take them out of play waaay too often.

I am with skip on that one..
Mrs Swanky has been wanting a diver's helmet lamp since we saw them at Oasis. That's so over the top that you can make that! I can see it now with some faux seaweed on top of our 19th century British Naval officer's chest... Gotta get that done.
Thanks for sharing this stuff here!
