This blog is dedicated to the process of my new lady LAMP!!!
I spy happy textures :)
To show you what she looked like before! (Yes she is a she! I think you'll understand why when you see the end result!)
It was a lamp that Sloan had and was not using or going to use. So instead of selling it, I made something of it! (I had planned on buying one of those paper ball lamps anyways to make this. Instead, I just used what we had!) I did end up buying a ball- that's because my mom wants me to make one for her! I can post pictures of that when I finish! I might take a break for a few days from the glue guns.
Some process/ progress shots.
Warning: If you are like my friend Eny, I am sorry ahead of time if my injury pictures gross you out;)
Above: At first, I was using a small glue gun I had that was just horrible. You had to squeeze it til'- well until you got two blisters ripped to the flesh. After this I decided to take a break and get bigger glue sticks for my bigger glue gun.
Below: Little did I know that my big glue gun got SO SO SO hot and literally, steamy. It slipped out of my hand and took some flesh off. Live and learn. Hurt so good in my lamps case.
Though this bad baby gave my 3 injuries on the fingers I am well pleased with it's final outcome!
Above and below: My pretty little lamp with it's light off. It is beautiful with lights on AND off!
Up close and on!
Illuminated!
Look at her glow. Isn't it so obvious why she is a she?!?
So feminine, frilly, and a perfect texture to add to the studio! Who would have thunk it? COFFEE FILTERS! Yes, 452 of them. It was just another way to glorify my addiction of coffee in the Dokken home;) As always, I'm willing to make for commission! (Just contact me at lillygraceray@gmail.com)
