Embellishing beautiful vintage lamp fixtures for our favorite restaurant!

We’ve had a busy couple of weeks designing and adding beaded fringe to a selection of large, vintage, tiffany lampshades and stained-glass fixtures! The client supplied us with 47 pounds of unique brass and reclaimed glass beads. 

Playing with the colors, choosing unique focal points, and matching up patterns kept us very engaged. Here are some “Before, During and Afters!”

Check out the Re-Do!

This shade was one of my earliest efforts, designed when I was just discovering beaded trim. As the years have gone by, this piece was relegated to a top closet shelf as I grew to appreciate hand beading with crystals and originality. Several weeks ago I had a request for this shade and an opportunity to give her a re-do! 

                                 

After:

 

I removed the old acrylic beading and embellishment (below, right) and added a simple insert of filigree, glass, and crystal beading. I'm so happy with the results and so is her new owner!
