Texture with thanks to Skeletal Mess

This was done in watercolour.

I always wanted to be a children's book illustrator. Hopefully, with a little bit of luck, I will be one...soon. Haha!

(The black dot on the lamp surface is only a sticker that came with it when I first bought it - no defect)

Sometimes I feel that my banking is best done by candle light...

While in Parkville, Mo. one evening I noticed that the

street lights came on so I took this photo against the evening sky.

A night shot...

The light is actually about five meters behind the lamp, aligned to shine through it. Taken with Konica Minolta Dimage Z20 ISO 50, F/3.2

I was time traveling recently (I went to 1702, so it was actually not that recent!). I bumped into a guy who said his name was Isaac Newton. He was rotten drunk and asked me to make a 'moonshine' lamp. So I did and it made some pretty strong liquor. Unfortunately Mr Newton was actually referring to a lamp with a shine like the moon! Oh well...

found a pair of lamps without the lamp shades. Fell in love with them because of the ball matching the body of the lamp.

Collectible vintage lamp from the 1950s, bought in the US. These lamps were meant to go on top of the TV, so the family's favorite consumer item could be on display at all times. Custom silk shade.

A homemade lamp I made for michelle c. using the glass buddha head I bought a while back.

Twiggy XL table lamp

This is the first vintage lamp I ever bought, I've had it for about 15 years now. I still love it - the swirly circles on the shade make me smile.

ps. That's a pic of my mom when she was little peeking out of the left side of the shot! ;)

Lit

I made two of these lamps recently for my bedroom. They are made out of Cherry wood and stained with a rosewood stain. I chose the stain to match the existing bedroom furniture.

I'm finding out that finishing is by far the single hardest step in woodworking.

Mary Louise Hussey bought this stained glass gas lamp with one of her very first paychecks while wortking for the Veteran's Administration at the end of WWI before she was married. Later her husband, Charles Fitzpatrick, converted the gas lamp to an electric light.

Restored.
