Hi Knitsteel and welcome
I wish had such talent! The most I can do is make wire hooks for mounts.. that doesn't even really count does it?

Have you thought of making your own cover that could go over the white desk lamp?

[knitsteel]

Thanks for all of the replies! Yes, there are lots of blacksmiths around, many hobbyists and some professionals. There are photos of my work on my website/blog and I'm knitsteel on flickr.

So I got a book from the library on terrariums, from the 70s. It had the exact same cookie jars pictured in it that I'm using right now! It also had some other good ideas and laid out the most basic principles for me.

I also found some used aquariums that I'm going to pick up today or tomorrow. Now, I don't have enough mini orchids to go in them all.... or rocks, or mosses, or lids.....

I bet large orchids will be fine in an aquarium if you use it as a glorified humidty tray. Think about it....

I have a son in law that is a blacksmith out of Chicago . He leaves his tools at home when they visit us ... darn it ..
Think mini Orchids can have more that way Gin
