The closeup of Wanda Shums’ latest lamp experiment may make you rethink transparent polymer clay! A turtle rests on the top of a translucent water lily and dragonflies float in pools of blue light.
At the end of a successful show season Wanda was nearly burned out by production work. She treated herself to some play time, creating for her own pleasure to feed her spirit and recharge her batteries.
She pulled out translucent canes she built last spring and gave them new life on a glass lamp globe. Then she added some sculptural elements. Giving herself permission to play resulted in a flood of creativity.

I was unfamiliar with Wanda’s work and I am so delighted to have been introduced to her creativity! Those lamps are awesom, but I found her other creations to be also awesome. Thank you for sharing her talents
