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 ......

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 :-)

New shade on the block - just whizzed this up over the weekend! A tropical coloured leaves 30cm Drum lamp shade in blue, brown, Magenta Pink and Apple Green African print fabric design
