Lamp Post Installation

The project was to build a replacement for this broken lamppost, damaged by a hurricane in 2017.

To begin, we built this 12 x 56 x 2″ base.

The design on the front started with an owl, and other elements were added. The owl is face-taped at this point. Wiring was added at this stage.

Here, the entire mosaic is glued and ready for grout, sides included.

I haven’t edited out the mess of working with mosaics!

After grout (a two phase approach with orange on the top and charcoal gray on the bottom), the mosaic was turned around. Fused glass elements were created for the cardinal and dogwood flowers.

INSTALLATION TIME! A family effort!

The rest of the design was added in, glued down and grouted in a light grey color.

Finally installed and wired up!

Thanks for viewing!
