Finding funky fringing for updating standard lamp

I wanted to do justice to this standard lamp as its trimming update was long overdue.

It’s one of the pieces that I realise now was over designed. And recently I’d

been wanting to strip down the details always remembering the less is more rule. I continued to be Inspired by smart office dress and my mood board contained images from Pinterest.

Lampshade Before

Selecting matching pink fringing

Trying trimming on for size style and mood

Then the finished piece is is what I’m much happier with. Just need to get a new lamp stand. Thinking dark burnt oak or ebony wood.

Digital Modification Experiment Creates Martian Dream Scene

Art & Illustration

Following on from the last success with multimedia and because I hadn’t much opportunity to do any brush work recently I have modified one of my paintings using my phablet as it is my new…. toy.

Being proud to show the rough with the smooth with blusher brush: coral and pink abstract

Behind the Scenes

Does it look bashful to you? The fantasy flower in this painting appears to be slightly embarrassed.

I wonder why.

Perhaps it is because I used the big bold blusher brush to get all the emotion out to create those swirls.

There is no shame here. Be bold with your crimson connection. Personally I don’t see anything wrong with combining magentaish pink with understated and sultry coral.
