I started creating Chandelier Art about 5 years ago. I received 2 antique chandeliers from a Dana Lehmann, a photographer and friend in Giddings. She thought I might be able to create something from them.
I had my neice Jackie take apart the chandelier. After washing the beads, I realized how beautiful the glass prisms were. We started laying out the beads and created stars and flowers. I also named one after Jackie. It is called The Jack Star!!!
I work with came, a 6' strip of lead with a channel down the middle. I wrapped the beads with came, added a colorful glass glob for the center and soldered it all together. The results were beautiful.
I added colored chandelier beads and started making other art including Angels, Glass Strips, and additions to the Depression Glass Windchimes.
I will add pictures to this once I figure out how.
If you can assist, please do. :-)
Happy Soldering.
