Thanks all, think my head has grown a little

It is still looking positively perfect, Keith.
Not just the right image, and not too busy or too plain, but you've got everything all balanced with the base.
(I've been away for a few days, but I got a sneak preview before I went.)

Thanks Sue, good day out ?

[chopin-liszt]

Yes indeed. 
I saw, hugged and chatted with folk I don't get to see, chat to and hug nearly often enough.
And to share glassie stories and enthusiasm around glass in full three dimensional reality was pretty much heaven.
A few bodies were not there and I missed those,   but I managed to have a wonderful time with the ones that were.

I'm still thinking about your lampshade. 
Would a heavy layer of white paint inside help?
Or trying to muffle the light coming through with a combination of a thick gauze (something such as the sewing stiffening stuff you get for reinforcing cuffs, collars and lapels) and/or more white paint?

There's an idea, will think on that
