Beautiful Vintage Silver Teapot Lamp With Prism Shade

A couple of posts ago, here, I showed a silver teapot and a skeleton of a lampshade. I know most of you thought that I would mosaic the teapot. That's what I normally do. But this teapot had such a great form....and the PATINA was amazing on it. So I decided to do something a little different.



I left the teapot in it's wonderfully vintage patina. First it was wired into a lamp. After stripping the fabric off an old lamp shade, I stretched crystal prism chain between the shade frame. I love the way it creates shadows on the wall!

I think it looks amazing! I am showing it with a clear standard light bulb. To find out more about this lamp you can go here.

Brown Transferware

I am waiting on something in the mail to finish the teapot lamp I showed in the previous post. In the meantime, here are a couple of new pieces done in a beautiful brown English transferware.

First is this sweet little silver plate sugar bowl, turned into a little night light.


Next is this pretty silver plate tray. If you want to learn how to mosaic a tray, click here for more info.

Both of these are available at Lavender Hill Studio.

Hmmmmm

The beginnings of my next project. Think you know how it will turn out?

This one might suprise you. It should be done sometime next week, if all goes well.

Heart of My Heart

I have used some of my favorite vintage china on this heart. I just love the floral bouquets!



It has a pretty gold trimmed creamy china edge too!


You can find this heart and other hearts available on my website, here.

"Sweet" and Petite

Here is another "Sweet" lamp made from a vintage silver plate sugar bowl. This poor sugar bowl was discovered in a thrift shop, tarnished and all alone. So I brought it to my studio and worked a little magic on it. First it was wired into a little lamp. Then the fun began.


I covered it with one of my favorite vintage china patterns.

The front is slightly different than the back. Available here.... SOLD!

"Check" This Out!

Last month I did a post about a wonderful gift package I received in the mail from Lee Laurie at A Southern Rose blog spot. One of the gifts she gave me was this cute rooster piece that she thought I might like to mosaic. She was right! I gave you a sneak peak in the last post (see the post below this one). The first picture below shows the rooster piece in it's original form.


And here it is now. You can click the pictures to enlarge. The perfect Country French accent piece for your home. This looks great with an ivy plant inside. Other wonderful uses could be, guest towels rolled up and stacked inside, kitchen utensils, bath soaps, out going mail, potpourri...

What would you use it for? Available on my website, here.
