One-Of-A-Kind Lamps
Brass antique style lamp with hand made shade. The original shade was Made in the Philippines using shells and soldered metal. I have added antique lace and crochet work, some of it hand dyed, beads and silk to further defuse the light and make wonderful patterns.

About me
I have been quilting for years, and only doing Crazy Quilts. Those are the kind that the Victorians made with no recognizable pattern and lots of embroidery and lace. I have always liked lamps and light. I was an electrician for several years!
Then I began to make lampshades. I took old silk shades, and used antique silks, including Kimono silks, to create crazy/beautiful one-of-a-kind lamp shades. I added beads and antique buttons and trim.
I found lamp bases, fixed them if needed, and created lamp shades to highlight their beauty. People seemed to love them! I was asked for lamps by friends, and made several, getting better at it all the time.
Now I want to offer my creations to others.
I can find a base and make a shade for you if you know what you want in terms of colors and style.. I can make a shade for your lamp. Or you can pick one of my already made creations to own yourself.
