Oh my Needles!! I feel like I always have so much to say with your posts because you give us so much to admire and look at. I wish we lived right down the street from each other so I can come to your studio and just feel all of these Amazing materials you work with!
I love the idea of using that dress, it really looks so delicate and antique!! I love the textures on it. I literally laughed out loud about Dax, that was so hilarious!! Please give her one more chance lol!! I love how you added the lace on the narrow panels, it really compliments the dress print.
Oh my goodness you’re website looks so beautiful and bright colored!! You have made so many lamps girl!! Congratulations on all of the ones you have sold! We’ll see where I’m at on Steemit in a couple of years and maybe Steem can buy me one of those beauties!!! I am so looking forward to seeing this finished lamp as well as what you’ll do with the next one you are working on!!!! 😉😁 Happy #NeedleWorkMonday dear friend!!!! 💕
Thanks so much, @crosheille! Yes, this one is interesting. You can't tell by looking at it right now, but when this one is lit up with a bulb, the pattern is really, really cool. I'm so excited for the bead to arrive on this one. I found an 88 cm string of beads from the early 1800's that appear intact, still on the tape. I'm certain they were taken from an old slag lamp. I intend to cut and re-string every single bead strand. I cant lose any in the process, because I need 88 centimeters. I've never done this before and it is going to be a VERY interesting journey, because the beadwork has a very specific pattern. Fingers crossed that the package arrives from Belgium undamaged.
Ooohhh now I am really excited to see this lampshade lit up!!
Wow that sounds like a scary and tedious job you have ahead of you with those beads. But I believe in you and your skills and I know you will accomplish this new goal! I’m rooting and hoping for you that all goes as planned and you receive that package undamaged!
