A few early lamps - 3

This was my first lamp based on the golden rectangle. I imagined this shape while looking at Sadhvi's lamp, realizing I could cut the corners off altogether, to make the triangles more visible.

I made this lamp for a good friend, and the whole time I was working on it I described to him in much detail the steps I was going through and what I was trying to achieve, but I never told him that I was actually making it for him until I finally presented the finished lamp to him. Fun!
