Carmel

Luminosity was one of the guiding principles in the design and construction of this lovely shade. Her glow is the result of several layers of silk with space between them that collects and reflects light through pastel silks. 

Carmel is embellished with silk ribbon work, puffed organza leaves, and crushed velvet trimmings. Finally, three inch silky fringe was carefully dyed to match.

SOLD! The list price was $1600..

Lucille is eccentric - just like her namesake, one of my favorite aunts! 

Lucille's vibrant design is composed of silk embroidered flowers, leaves, and buds from an Oriental vintage silk piano scarf. Trapunto work and a dual layer of textured purple silk with old fashioned fuchsia netting give her depth. Tiny amber beads adorn her trim and strands of purple glass beads were looped as a finishing touch.

I love the complementing colors and sense of playfulness she brings to the room! 

The metal lamp has been tinted to compliment the shade. The price is for both shade and lamp.

Lucille has sold.
