[TheForge] Wall Sconce Shade Material

[Grant Marcoux]

Bob, et al:  there is a product that simulates mica that is used by shade
makers, which is a glass-impregnated resin that bends to shape and has the
look of natural material.  I don't remember the name, but you might search
under "simulated mica" or something.  Grant
