MOONS OF REMEMBRANCE (DETAIL)

MOONS OF REMEMBRANCE As a very special commission to celebrate the life of a very special and beloved pup, this unique Craftsmen lamp uses a small amount of cremains fused into each of the two cabochon “moons”, shining through two delicate webs. For this work of both fused and stained glass, I have fashioned the cabochons out of blue glass frit, with pure yellow gold foil floating within and encompassing the cremains. The surrounding hand-colored and hand-rolled stained glass is Youghiogheny “Wisteria”, with subtle pale mottled greens and neodymium blues predominating. The custom quarter sawn Michigan oak lamp structure, built and hand-finished by my frequent collaborator, Phil Myer, includes a real acorn pull and pewter oak leaf medallion. Thanks, Phil!!! 20”x12”x 18.75” julienbyrne.com NFS “I have done mostly what most men do, 
And pushed it out of my mind; 
But I can't forget, if I wanted to, 
Four-Feet trotting behind. Day after day, the whole day through -- 
Wherever my road inclined -- 
Four-feet said, "I am coming with you!" 
And trotted along behind. Now I must go by some other round, -- 
Which I shall never find -- 
Somewhere that does not carry the sound 
Of Four-Feet trotting behind.” ——Four Feet, by Rudyard Kipling
