When we returned in December I was sad to see that the driftwood couldn't take the tension of being clamped around the inner post of the lamp and it cracked.
I first tried screwing it back together, but I couldn't make the screw go where I wanted it to go and it didn't look good.
Next try was to glue and clamp it together. Did that and when I took it apart the wood just pulled apart again.
What to do?
Then I thought, we have so many shells, I could wrap silver wire around the wood to hold it together and glue a shell over the twisted wire.....that might do the trick.
On the day that we were out and about I found a box of small porcelain shell ornaments and hubby and I both agreed that one of them would work out perfectly. And it did!
What'cha think?
Aloha A Hui Hou!
Great driftwood lamp... I hope it lasts this time!
