The Lampshade

| The Lampshade |
It was a matter of the lampshade was there. The fabric was there. The glue was there. And, so was I.
On a day when life had light akin to the inside of a wrinkled brown paper bag, I decided to redo my small thrift store vintage boudoir lampshade.
I don't think of it as a finished project or want it to be. The shaman's bag vibe I use to add things, comforts me. Some years there may be more, some years less. I can't add too much because I do use the lamp at my desk.
Still, I have the feeling this year there will be more.
Oh what a creative lampshade you made ~ Glad your 'mojo' is working

Thank you, Carol
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend
Your lamp shade is very unique. I like all the added fabric you put on. And the gold rose pin adds a special something. It looks a bit Bohemian, which I love. It must look so charming sitting there on your desk. You did a nice job on this.

I think having a lampshade like that would make me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteNice! Would be a perfect method of storage/display for your jewelry and be an ever-revolving piece of art.
ReplyDeleteI love your lampshade and how fun to keep adding more to it-that's neat
ReplyDeleteI like the result.
ReplyDeleteI love how you go with the feeling of the time and express it creatively!
ReplyDeleteSheri,
ReplyDeleteBohemian is a good description.
The gold colored pin is circa 1960s costume jewelry that once adorned a straw hat.
Becki,
ReplyDeleteA smile maker it is.
Maryanne,
ReplyDeleteJewelry pieces are perfect to add to the lampshade.
Kathy,
ReplyDeleteSorting and moving things around almost finished, there's room now to do crafting. Once beads and such are sorted I will add on to the lampshade.
William,
ReplyDeleteThe fabric remnant pieces were a challenge to fit.
Marie,
ReplyDeleteA desk lends itself to quiet what to do next moments. Mainly after I clean it off enough to see it. :)
It's very creative. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a lovely lampshade and I wondered how it looks when lit. it certainly looks nicer than ones I have seen in stores!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my Friday Funnies about doormats and to respond to your comment about 9 pm. Residents, of course, can have guests visit longer, but if their cars are parked in the residents lot they will need to relocate them as these spaces are for resident's use. There is a city garage which has free parking after a certain hour.
Thank you, Loree
ReplyDeleteThe trumpet flower shape is a favorite.
Beatrice,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the parking explanation.
I'll take a photo if the lamp with the light on later today.
