How to Assemble Stunning Diffusers for Your Lampshades

This week, I created a YouTube video to show buyers how I create the beautiful diffusers for my lampshades.

Though Edison-style lightbulbs are available, they don’t always suit every interior style scheme, especially if you’re going for a more cosy, less industrial look.

Watch how easy it is to assemble a diffuser for your lamp shades. I’m considering having these as kits in my shop as an alternative way to hang and present my artwork.

Light at the End of the Tunnel: A Unique Lighting Approach

This week, I focused on fusing my artist and lighting creator skills. I found a solution to reduce the glare from the table light I made earlier this month.

In the video, you will see how I used another layer of foundational material. I did this to reduce the glare from the lightbulb yet allow some of the light to shine through in a unique way that you don’t typically get from table lamps.

You also see the sliver of clearer light that I start to create to make things interesting. I think the clear light signifies the light at the end of the tunnel for those in that manifestation and professional development space.

Below is a link to the video coming up on YouTube on 17th February.

And here is a sneak peek of what you will see.

Here is a link to the video due to be posted on 24 February showing my thoughts on the type of trim and what I plan to do next time.

Easily Swap Empire Lampshades with Duplex Fittings

This week, my YouTube video addressed a question from one of my subscribers. They asked for a video explaining how the duplex fitting can be used. I show how they’re used to suspend a lampshade from above. Lampshades can be suspended from a ceiling cable or wires on either side of a bed. We often see the suspending of smaller lampshades in industrial-style or fishing rod-style floor lamps.

In the video, I show details of the spider attachment. You get to see how I easily swap over various styles of lampshades. It’s less bothersome to do the same with the usual fittings.

Please ensure your lampshade has the duplex fitting when you buy from my shop. This ensures ease of swapping over. This enables you to use an empire shape. You can suspend it from above or place it on top of a table lamp.

Below is a bonus video showing how the same duplex frame on my Empire lamps can also be used as a table lamp. In essence, you don’t need to turn the lampshade upside down.
