From beige to blue. Bought this pair of beige lamps off vinted as restoration project. Shades were stained and paint was chipping off lamp bases.
Painted lamp bases black, covered lampshades with bright blue satin, floral lace, added some pleats, decorative trim and long blue fringe.
Here they are!

Table lamp restoration project. Bit tired looking beige lamp got brand new look with black and white Liberty print floral silk and bright pink lining. This small looped fringe is my favourite, been using it in few other projects recently.
Forgot to record about half of the progress...oops.
Hope you like this makeover.
This table lamp is now available!

Who loves green and who loves animal print? Well... I do.
Matching lamp bases and clip-on shades came from Vinted.
Hand painted both lamp bases black with bronze highlights.
Beige stained fabric got ripped off and replaced with bright green, black animal print lace and small looped fringe.
I will be taking these with me to alternative market in Letchworth on 27th September.
Whos coming shopping?

It's so tiny and so freaking adorable.  Should I make another one to have a matching pair?

Something bit different today. White handmade lampshade with green laceup details, black lace and green fringe.
Would be perfect for floor lamp but can be used for ceiling light too.
Available to buy from ebay very soon.

I have perfect pair of lamp bases for these shades... I just need to rewire these first.

Handmade dark green lampshade with animal print lining and beaded fringe. Hand strung beads are stitched onto frame one by one.
This lampshade is perfect for ceiling light because of fun lining but would also look great on floor lamp.

Another fun make for lovely young lady.
3rd custom lampshade for her already. I think she likes my work 😁❤️
Horror circus themed handmade lampshade with blood drop beads inside to match previously made 'The Shining lamp'.
Checkered fabric is pattern matched inside and outside, so when light glows through, pattern doesn't look off.
Circus tent shape frame is perfect for it.
What do you think of little string lights made of beads?
