World Maths Day: Geometric inspired Lampshades by Detola and Geek

I bet you didn't know that World Maths Day event is celebrated between 12th - 14th October this year .  The World Education Games  (WEG) organises a live competition where participants can chose one out of 4 modes.

Let me quickly share a few maths facts  with you:

1. Mathematics is derived from the Greek word 'mathema' which when translate means learning, study, science'
2. 12,345,678,987,654,321 is the product of 111,111,111 x 111,111,111
3. The name 'Google' came about after  the word 'googol' was spelt wrongly! And 'Googol' means a number 1 followed by 100 zeros.
4. If you have a group of 23 people, atleast 2 people will hare the same birthday.
5. A Palindrome number is a number that reads the same both forwards and backward like 12621.

I could really go on and on as am a "closet Geek" myself. LOL!!!!

Okay enough of the geeky stuff, here are some geometric inspired handmade lampshades by Detola and Geek all available to buy online (links are below).

Bespoke berry red and pink geometric handmade lampshades

Here are a couple of large lampshades I knocked up over the weekend for a lovely customer over in Germany.

They are 40cm in diameter and 30cm in  height

. 

Tagged with the 'Detola & Geek' custom labels so that you know it's the real thing!

 

Do you think it's weird I wish them safe journey as they are sent out on their shipping travels? I always want my handmade lampshades to reach their final destinations in one piece. Touch wood that has been the case every time :-)
