I went browsing in Heals of London a couple of years ago and I was inspired by these double height lampshade sizes I saw.

The version I saw was made of Cork but what struck me was the size, they were 20 cm in diameter and 40 cm tall so in essence they were double height lampshades. And because my space is double height ceiling with 5m window height I’ve always been keen on finding how best to balance out the decoration in such a mammoth space .

So I made these double height lamp shades out of some fabric that I got from the Designers Guild sale recently. Then during my break I made these while catching up with a box set of some USA TV.

The name of the fabric is Aubriet lino and the colour is damson .

I love how it looks so floral and pretty but also it looks very organic and earthy with it’s burlap or raw linen backgrounds.

I’m currently on a weight management program and I have lost nearly one stone that’s five kilos or 14 pounds.

During the process I’ve been learning about the psychology of why we eat.

So I’ve been looking at emotional eating habits and how to break them.

So when I painted this image I couldn’t help thinking how angry it looks. Indeed when I created it I was angry because I was thinking of a difficult task I had to do and the circumstances that led to it.

So when deciding which digital image would go I thought the fairy cake was the most apt thing.
