| The original lampshade |
Have you ever looked at something in your house and thought that you could do something to spruce them up? Well we have 2 lamps and the lampshades are looking somewhat plain. There and then I decided I was going to renovate. I really am on a splurge here. It's all good!
I have lots of small pieces of paper that I use in my mixed media paintings and I wondered how they'd look if I collaged them on to the lampshade.
So I did!
Of course it helps when the sun is shining and I can sit and stick.
I also had a shirt that I didn't wear anymore but had a lovely pattern on it, so I began cutting it up! Very cathartic. Nothing to waste in this house.
Here are the finished pieces.

Only 4 days to go until my Create your Cocoon Canvas workshop at the National Wildflower Centre
EXcited!
I agree with you, Jules! I have lamps with the same ho-hum shades. I might have to try this! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteoh and have a great time at your workshop - sounds heavenly!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely give it a go, it was such fun and I'm really pleased how they brighten up the rooms. I'm going to be taking pics of the workshop x
ReplyDeleteVery clever, the paper lampshade... love it!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy taking an object, and giving it a makeover.
Making things more "artsy" around my home, keeps me inspired :]
