The lamp kick continues!


I am having so much fun making lamps! These are the new ones, 1:12 scale.


The first two I put a patina. I turned the brass on all three, and turned the shade on the first one from acrylic. The second shade was found in my stash, I had to carefully drill a hole in it. I painted the floral shade. And the base on it is hand carved cherry.


These two I made everything but the chimneys. Again, turned brass and acrylic, hand carved cherry base on the right. And they all are electrified.

  4. You are on a roll! Love the patina ageing on the brass lamps. I can't quite get me head around how you can paint so finely on a curved surface. So talented and it looks awesome =0)

  7. they are gorgeous Linda! I would love to watch you turn those shades. I can't believe how you had managed to turn the insides as nicely as you have the outside shape. You did a beautiful job painting the flowers on the shade.

  10. Your lamps are great and I understand you love making them. Although the work is quite a bit, doing all the parts yourself! Very well done, I've said it before and I'll say it again: is there anything you can't do? Not only that, you do everything so very well!
