    My first attempt at picture posting with tinypic so fingers crossed.

    My Frexei table lamp (please ignore shade as I will change it).

    I drilled through the very middle of the bottom with a glass bit and the bottle has a lovely dimple in the edge that the flex fits through. It took ages and I've now decided that I wouldn't do that again but would go out the back instead. You can just see the flex in the bottle at certain angles and I'm debating taking it apart again and putting a silver tube (like that you use to cover radiator pipes) down the middle with flex running through. I might also remove label and put something else there. The world is my oyster (I'm getting carried away now hehe).

    I've plenty more bottles to do, well I will have, so any ideas welcome.
