I alternated sugar spoons with dessert forks to encircle the wire frame. I left most of the metal frame exposed since I liked the peeling white paint/rusted metal combo. I used white seam binding to wrap the top of the frame once I had wired all the silverware in place.
This silverware lamp is part of the English tea garden vignette in my space at Faded Elegance...I've had such a great time making these silverware shades that I'm working on a couple of ideas for other mixed media lampshades...possibly involving brass metal stencils...I'll keep you posted...
I'm linking up to Funky Junk Interiors Saturday Nite Special...lots of great ideas...lots of inspiration...
This is just so pretty! I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend!

I love them both...and partial to the non-linear-ness of the first lamp. Great inspiration for some lampshade skeletons I have in my closet :-)

What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI thought you might like to view my 'thrift store' video - you've got a mention in it! Saw some silverware and thought of your lamp! Hope you'll have a look.
