Happy New Year world

Hope you all had a fab festive season - spending time with your love ones. Mine was quite enjoyable too.

I'm already working on new ideas / projects etc.

All will be revealed as soon as they are made, but I can share with you my first new lampshade design for January 2017.......

The Tropical Golden African Lamp shade called 'Funke Lampshade'.

She's part of my new "Gold Edition" as they are handcrafted with a Gold- coloured thicker inner lining.

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.
