This year the lighting project was a challenge. Finding the sample materials initially was daunting. Trying to design and then make a lamp from samples received was even more daunting. But after a time the ideas began to develop, trial and error then takes place. The project then becomes very interesting and challenging. Once the idea is formed the rest comes in time. The more you progress the more you want to progress. And 'Voila' there it is the lamp that you thought you could never make. There is a huge feeling of self satisfaction on completion of this project.  See for yourself. My lamp didn't turn out too bad! (Even if I say so myself)!
