***Thinking I'd let you know***
about this lamp
This lamp was put together by ME.....All of it was made up from the bits and pieces I bought over several months from my local op-shop...here we call it the Hospice shop.....and I call it ....now say ..... L'hhhospeece boutique....in a french accent....not that I am french
and anyway before I lose the drift...back to the lamp....
the base was bought seperatly for £3.00 $6.00
the glass shade was £3.00 $6.00
the vintage crystals where in a big bowl loads and loads of them too many to count...
£10.00 $20.00 so I glued some satin braid to the outside of the glass shade and hooked the crystals one by one into the braid thereby creating a new old looking lamp...well the base is the oldest probably 30's ...it is fluted wood with a brassy base and the crystals? don't know...still it was cheaper than buying a proper one...and I still have crystals over....Simple really aaaaaaaa....
You can't really see the cream swirls in the glass shade though.... pity cos the bulb is too bright and it looks better in real life ...perehaps I'll take another photo at a later date....toodleoooooo
1 of your thoughts.....:
How stunning! This lamp is a real beauty and even more so because you made it yourself. And such a bargain!!
I've never been brave enough to attempt making anything like this. Well done :-)
