Evan's Rose


Evans's Rose was a challenge and delight to construct ... the client specified a shade in flame-and-embers-red with a 1940's "slightly gothic" touch. 

I found a shade frame that complimented his lamp. We worked together to match up silk, black netting, ribbon trim, tassels and beading.

And so, an heirloom is born!

Denice's Secret Garden

Denice's Secret Garden is a commission inspired by the client's desire to start Springtime a bit early and bring it indoors. The shade was lined in golden satin, covered in vintage style netting, and framed with beautiful Kona Asian fabric. Once basic construction was completed, the magic really began to happen! Denice's Secret Garden really came to life as I embellished her with handmade silk flowers, corner beading and finally accented her with fine gold stitching. Check out the "Before" photo below.

It's difficult to capture the luminosity of this shade ... so, you'll have to take my word for it, it glows!

I enjoy custom work, let me know how we can work together to lighten up your home or place of business!

Felicity in Sea Foam

Felicity is constructed from one of my favorite fabrics - a sea-foam chintz embossed with gold swirls. The client loved the idea of embedding a clear dragonfly into the shade ... This shade
is beautiful with and without light shining through her! The side panels are made from ROCO embroidered silk, trimmed in matching gimp and beaded fringe.

Each shades is custom made to suit the color preferences and needs of the client ... give me a call and let's get started on yours!

The price is for the shade only. If you need help finding the perfect lamp, I can help you with that too.

Ingrid is a gracious shade made for a vintage floor lamp. She's made of embroidered silk that appears to change hue depending on the viewer's vantage point. Working with silk is so much fun!

The overall affect is enhanced by the addition of black pleated trim and a grandmother's earring. I really enjoy displaying family jewelry in this way.

The original shade was a commission and has sold. If you'd like a similar shade, contact me and we'll come up with the perfect design for your home, office, or shop.

The price is for the hand sewn shade only. I'll be happy to help you find the perfect lamp if you need one.
