A 12" x 12" glass square and an 11‑1/2" glass circle are used as bases for two fused lamp shades. Strips of Turquoise, Cherry Red, Lipstick Red, and Deep Aqua Glass Stringers plus inner and outer helix cane provide the decorative touches for the shades, which are drape-fired over a Collina mold and an Alta Vista mold, respectively, to finish.
