Prismatic Powders

This lamp celebrates my most essential supplier, Precision Powders (PP).  Their products, fusion-bond powder coating, happen to be foundational to what I create. Instead of liquid paint, these dry powders glaze under heat. PP offers a huge variety of colors and finishes. Without first creating and perfecting my own techniques for applying powder material onto glass, I could not create any of my lamps and the projections they display.

Here, I composed twigs of ginkgo leaves encircling the lamp. This arrangement enabled me to display a small selection of PP colors. There are nine separate powder colors displayed. Also, on several leave, there’s a topping gloss layer.
