Day 3 Art Chain Challenge: Red & Green African Print Chevron handmade Lampshade & Cushion

This was a rare vintage ‪ African print design.The pattern was so popular that I had to join two pieces of fabric together in making this lampshade. 

A customer wanted one to match the cushion she was about to order online via my Etsy Shop. I checked with her first to see if she was happy with me using 2 separate fabric pieces to make her 35cm drum lamp shade. She said YES!!! 

Talk about precision aligning & invisible meeting line of two pieces of fabric. Phew! No pressure. At all. LOL.

Here's the feedback I received "Lovely! Well-made items. Easy to communicate with. Thanks so much! :-)

I then went on to nominate the lovely Ceridwen of Ceridwen Hazelchild Design who is one awesome Illustrator! to share for 5 days 1 creation per day & nominate a different person each time. Off you go girl.

Here are my deets if you need a lampshade or any other home decor product:

Day 1 - Art Chain Challenge on Facebook

I forgot to share this amazing challenge that snowballed on Facebbok recently. I am still trying to track down the originator as it would be great to hear how they were inspired to start this

Culled from my Detola and Geek's Facebook page .....

Has anyone heard of Art Chain? I hadn't until I got nominated by my wonderful friend Susie, of Sewsannah who makes fab colourful purses!

So it goes a little something like this - I have to share a different handmade product I have made per day for 5 days and nominate 5 other designer/maker/crafters on each day.

Day 1 of the Art Chain Challenge:

My maiden share is the first batch of vibrant ‪African print lampshades I made. Didn't have a clue about the best way to photograph them. So I just tried to show off the shapes, colours & designs the best way I could (Also used to be known as Dezine Konnections Interior design wink emoticon)

I now nominate Lara of Allabouteveshop to share for 5 days 1 creation per day & nominate a different person each time. Off you go girl ......
