One of a Kind Pieces for One of a Kind people
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.
The WordPress AI generated the featured image above of the gold lighting, after it read my post. I think it’s OK as an illustration of the mood. It seems to understand what my blog post is about home offices and new forms of lighting. But it does not represent what I created, but I’m glad it didn’t use my design. It only used the colours I’m talking about. So that’s what makes it OK.
Last week I wrote about preparing for the design competition, using my inspiration from visits to the design centre in Chelsea and noticing other lighting creators offering their variations of the black and gold lighting theme. This week I can report that i have submitted my work to the competition. Below shows the other images and videos I took of the later part of my process.
I’m planning on making accessories available soon to go with the main items that I make. Etsy has loosened their rules making it easier for shop owners like me to supply complimentary accessories.
In future the paintings will be available with frames, the lampshades with lampbases, and a lightbulb as well as set up instructions. There will also be super duper gift box versions for bookshelf styling.
A bookshelf styling gift basket will have storage, lighting and some faux greenery in complimentary colours and textures with guidance for displaying the shelf as the professional stylists do.
Most centrally, I’ll be curating gift boxes for housewarming parties. Housewarming Gifts
The gift boxes for housewarming parties will contain a complete set of lampbases with lampshade so that customers get the exact look that they see in my pictures.
Those gift-boxes will also contain and lightbulbs so that the kit that customers or receiver get is ready to just plug in.
Gallery wall, bring and hang fest.
I have thought of another social phenomenon (not sure if it exists but) If friends are gathering to view your new home, get them to help turn a blank wall into an eclectic gallery wall, invite them to buy you an artwork (it would probably be polite to give a ceiling on the price say from £10 to £200) and let them tell you and the other party guests why they thought of you when they got it. I imagine it might create very memorable and meaningful moments.
To help with this I’ve created another house warming gift box which will contain ready framed ready to hang or place artwork.
Thanks for reading, follow to get updates for new gift packs coming up.
