Gaining Light ~ Glass Wall Sconces

I'm working on a set of glass wall sconces to replace the

glass from another set

 I had made in dark colors ~ see the glass above.
Transparent cobalt, sky blue, spring green, neo-lavendar & aqua. 

The glass base is an irid clear and if you look closely

you can see the diamond pattern. 

This really added a nice shimmer when  lit.

Although I love these colors they were dark & didn't let a lot of light through. 

Nice & soothing in the winter & beautiful on a cobalt painted wall.

BUT....it's spring time in Alaska

& I've been in a cleaning & painting mode.

The cobalt wall has been painted a buff color & with the trims white I wanted a lighter colored glass sconce on these fixtures.

The fixture hardware  is custom made & sold by Bullseye Glass Co. & sells for about $116 each ~  lamp fixture hardware (11.75" X 7.5").  This fixture hardware is made to fit the glass slumped over the lamp bender conic mold (#8740).

Here's a picture of the mold. 

 It's been brushed with kiln wash & is in the kiln ready for use.

I contemplated using many colors of glass but in the end decided to go with something light & neutral.  The glass base is clear tetka (3mm)  topped with white fractures, stringers (1mm & 2 mm in white, ivory, & transparent gold),  & frit in a variety of sizes & chunks. 

 I really like the bigger chunk effect.

Final glass after firing & slump firing.

Here's the glass mounted & lit. 

 I'm loving the color combo & the radiating light effect on the wall.
