(Excerpted from Cindy’s blog)
After weeks of trying to figure out how to make my 1/12th scale chandelier for my shop I finally got it together. A fellow miniaturist had a pipe bender so I was able to make graceful curves in the brass pipes for the wires. I had so many “little” challenges to work out. But I figured out ways to make it work. It is not perfect but I love it. For lamp shades I used clear seed beads threaded on wire and coiled. The light shining through them is lovely.
It looks like we will heading back to the States earlier then expected. Max would like to finish his education at Bainbridge High and I miss family and friends. Rick may stay a bit longer to finish up at work. Lots of details to work out!
