Welcome
Enjoying the bit of "eye candy"?
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn a bit about my work. Enjoy my site and please, take a moment to drop me a line.
NawRuz
Golden Bridges ...
"NawRuz Reflection" absolutely glows! She's composed of vintage silk from an Oriental gentleman's wedding skirt and festooned with hand tied strands of crystals.
$2,900 Shade and vintage lamp SOLD
Ruby Slippers
Emelia
She wore blue velvet ...
"Emilia" is a favorite! Embroidery and ribbon roses add the velvety elements to this deep blue, silk shade. Hundreds of crystals tempt everyone seated near her to run their fingertips along her fringe. The brass base is tinted to compliment.
Carmel
Carmel's luminosity is the result of several layers of silk with space between that collects and reflects light through pastel silks.
Zoom in on her ribbon rose, dainty petals and crushed velvet trimmings!
Christina
Adorned with cloisonne ...
The delight is in the details! "Christina" is embellished with vintage button windows, beaded lace and trim, and hand tied beaded fringe.
Helen
She who brings light!
Layers of rose silk and lace provide the frame for the beaded art nouveau pattern incorporated into this luminous lampshade.
"Helen" paired with a lovely vintage bridgelamp that's been carefully tinted to complement this unusual piece.
Lucille
Flamboyant and Joyful ...
Like a true show-stopper, "Lucille" is playful and bright! She features flowers from a vintage oriental silk scarf and is named after my flamboyant auntie!
Ayla Rose
May I have this dance?
"Ayla Rose," composed of lace roses, dreamy glass windows to catch the light, and a luxurious skirting of hand tied beading in black and scarlet, is one happy lady! What more could a dazzling flapper ever ask for?
About Custom Work ...
I've always enjoyed custom orders and repairs, however, they are challenging, requiring more time and investment than my hot off the bench, "buy it 'cuz you love it!" creations.
If you see a shade that you love and need it to match a room or reflect personal tastes - let me know. A 50% non-refundable deposit applies.
