I Had A Wild Hair...


one day, needing a reading light by the couch. I had this cruddy old paper lampshade on a black rod iron base, but it just wasn't doing it for me! I decided I would just redo it.....I added fabric and paint and voila! Rick and my mother both had a fit over it. He loved the colors and mom thought it looked like stained glass lit up. It did turn out pretty cool...I'm on a mission for old shades - to make them new, modern, cool and definitely usable, where they weren't before! I am also doing fabric art and photography greeting cards...just what I needed - something else to do! More on that later...

Kelly, Well, I just love that lamp shade. It really is neat and adds a great touch to your living room...I hope you keep it there...well, if you sell it...make another one! Loveya, Mom
