Item #2007-0004

I got this cute little lamp base from Freecycle... I thought it was neat but didn't know what I was going to do with it. When I picked it up the original glass shade fell off and broke (because I am a klutz) and the wiring was old, so I knew I was going to have to rebuild it and come up with a shade for it. I started by adding some gold paint to the stove and then adding a stem for the lamp kit.
Once I got that in place I started gluing rocks on it like crazy! If you can't tell from my other work, I love rocks and crystals and I love to add them into my artwork. All that was left after that was to make a lampshade - so I bought an ugly little shade that was falling apart from Goodwill and I used the metal frame of it to make this cloth lampshade out of fabric I had. I was thrilled with how it turned out.

This is what it was made from...
