Sweet Chic

I had such fun creating this lamp!  After wrapping the spine, I covered it in gold satin.  Selecting the two main fabrics was easy; finding the alternate seemed impossible as I tried every piece of fabric or lace I could imagine, even dying a few of them, but nothing worked.  After giving up and putting the lamp aside, I happened upon a gold lace box a friend had given me in one of my desk drawers.  So I cut the sucker up - perfect!  I'm all about detail and this lamp was not spared.  It's covered in gorgeous trims, with aqua blue rhinestones following select lines and hand-beaded fringe strands picking up the fabric colours.  I used amber Precosia crystals to add sparkle!  This antique lamp base is highlighted with nickel and copper sections while the black steel post features a beatiful intricate design when you look closely (all original, meaning I did not rebuild or paint this lamp base).   Stands 22" tall.  $440
