Isn't she lovely. She started like this. Three parts, from three different light fixtures.
and I used this,
and two nuts, to make her look like this.
I first sprayed her with an ivory paint/primer combo. Then did a dry brush using a 50/50 mix of white paint and gesso.
I'll share the desk everything is sitting on in another post. See ya soon.

WOW Rosemary this new combo is stunning! It's so amazing what you can do with lamp parts.

P.S. I'm glad your feeling better :)
She is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Rosemary. I'll bet you could come up with at least half a dozen different combos with those pieces.
ReplyDeleteOK Rosemary, I've had about all I can take! You are so freakin' creative!!! (hope I can say that without getting bleeped). She is so beautiful! I will never look at another lamp the same way. I transform lots of sad old lamps but usually leave them as is and just paint them to spruce them up and then make a gorgeous shade. Maybe one day we could have a "lamp off" competition :-)

Super cute!!! Glad you are feeling better, take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteRosemary, I so admire your eye for how things could look when combined!! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat is so adorable, Rosemary! I love it. I can't believe that you made that out of leftover parts. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better, you poor, overworked girl! Sounds like your brain gets into creativity overdrive and your bp goes up? I wish I had a tenth of the creative brain cells you do. :) This gorgeous new piece is just more proof of how utterly talented and ingenious you are! ♥

ReplyDeleteYou're such a sweetheart!
OK, now I'm seeing lamps in a whole different light....no pun intended!
ReplyDeleteAnd glad you're better...
Glad you're feeling better -- high and low blood pressure do crazy things to a person! You really do help us look at "pieces" of things differently -- this candleholder is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you are feeling better. I can't tell you enough how much I love this candleholder. She is just gorgeous. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust brilliant! You are so talented in how you're able to have the vision to put disparate parts together and make something pretty out of them.
ReplyDeleteShut the front door! That's an awesome candle holder! Such a great way to re-use and re-purpose pieces that you already have. And I love the paint finish you did on it - it looks very old-world :-)

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I missed the last few posts. I've been out of town to the see a specialist and then spent a whole day in town, so two days were completely shot.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are feeling better and glad you have the sense to slow down when you need to. I'll be praying for you.
