French Lacy
 

This gal was many months in the making, mainly due to number of strands I needed to do for the beaded fringe.  Each and every strand in the fringe has numerous crystals and expensive beads, making this lamp a costly one for me to complete.  I dyed the silk in gradient red (watermelon) to mauve and overlaid this with lacy mesh, before cutting up some beautiful French lace I had shipped over from Europe and creating the appliques you see in the photos.  This is actually the third lamp base I worked on to match the shade.   I got downright creative with the one I finally decided was good enough and I think it turned out fantastic.   There are 8 pink crystal strands dropping from the interior (of the base) which add to the overall elegance of this lamp.   French Lacy is a tall girl at 39 inches.  Shade is is 16 inches at widest point.  $2450
