Fossils, Lamps & the Glass Expo in Las Vegas

IMAG0713

The fossil arthropod, thought to be a trilobite was found under the bark of an old growth juniper in Oregon.  The fossils run in tracks along the wood.  The artist, Darren Lambert is showing his lamps at a Western Art Show, here in Las Vegas at the South Point Hotel, where we are setting up for the Glass Expo this weekend.  We had the privilege to meet this artist and his wife along with his mother, Diana Lynn, who makes lamp shades out of leather and other natural materials for the lamps made out of the old growth twisted juniper from Oregon.
