May 2019 – Home Office Charm

Excited that my photography skills are developing. It’s all that Instagraming I’ve been doing.

Anyway I thought I’d take a quick snap of the fabric. I’m using a Ralph Lauren that I got from the Designers’ Guild Autumn sale together with their natty gold and cotton trim.

I love the symbolic juxtaposition of the two fabric thread gold and hessian or Burlap as the Americans say.

I’m beginning to feel that the shades I make, create such a statement that they are infact ornamental in themselves and don’t need a base.

My passion for trimmings and tassels continue.

If you have any questions or comments about handmade lampshades with trimmings and tassels please drop me a line.

The frames are upcycled and stripped back and re bound.

I made these fabric disks in the Christmas break and originally had them on my wall spread out like the old flying duck motif.

But this weekend I was having a tidy up and rearranged some of wall decor. They look better layered up, I think.

I’m back to making and will do a few more of these discs and other shapes.

It’s been difficult finding time to make but I’ve managed to clear the decks for a season of showcasing my hand made office decor creations made from upcycled fabrics, cosmetics and skincare products.

It’s going to be a creative season. If you want to ask me anything about wall. Desk or wall styling drop me a line.

I’ve noticed the more we do Webex, Skype, Zoom meetings the more important it is to hand craft our own mise-en-scène. That’s film talk for how we look on screen.
