Its Illuminating!!!

In our last project, we had to design a luminaire using two materials that we have used in previous projects plus a third material that we choose. My initial thought of a luminaire was a candle and the radiance the flame gives us depending on what type of container it is in. After, looking at different pictures of types of light sources, I began to think about the reflective of light through objects, especially made of glass, and the effects, color and patterns the object gives off. My inspiration came from pictures of gems, rain, water, and bubbles that are translucent but give off a prism of color or form symmetrically patterns.
