Lights and other things

Quick update on the light/Mini Chandelier results....

 

When I heard IKEA had a minature doll house furniture with miniature replicas of their Vago and Klippan sofa, I knew I HAD to get a set. I went once and they were all SOld Out! So on the next available shipment, I rushed to IKEA and bought 2 sets! HA HA!

Here's an example of someone's Blog I found who decorated her dollhouse using the HUSET dollhouse set! Super cuteness my Gawd! :)

Hanging Lampshade Design...

I've started working on the 2nd Lampshade for the living room and here is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd attempt at bending the wire into a basic round cylinder-ish shape.

The first few 'failed' cylinders... Wobbly and awful looking!

Finally! 'Lightbulb' moment! Figured out how to stabilize the wire without the need to solder!! Yeee-ha!

It still looks kinda empty (top portion) .. Less is More ?
Just the leaves alone looked empty so I sewed on some Berry-beads! Haha!

The issue was as usual to try and get it bended using only 1 single piece of wire without having to join different parts (or the use of soldering! *grunts*).

I had pictured a design with beige linen, something like this;

Then dressing it up with beads and shiny leaf-shaped sequins I had bought at Masjid India. I had the perfect coloured linen, it was an old dress and seeing I could still fit into it, I didn't have the heart to cut into it. It suddenly felt like a sin to cut up a perfectly wearable dress! I must be going slightly mad. So instead I used the shiny Gold tulle I got from Klim's Craft because I thought the transparent fabric would make the light work better with a shiny factor. We'll see...
