RE: Newest In-Work Lamp - NeedleworkMonday

in #art7 years ago

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!
