Photo of Designers Guild Lampshade in the Making

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.
