I've loved making this one to the music of Frida in the background of my studio. A bit of relief in lockdown to make something joyous and free.
The Missing

Inspired by everything that is hurtful about missing. The mannequin footlights are so great for maximum drama in a small precious space. The shade and tree made from plaster bandages a little missing figure nestles on a branch with a box of golden buttons. Charismatic and strange.

The Elevated Tea Caddy has now been installed it looked fantastic
hanging above a beautiful old oak dining table. Just to add some glamour I had a box of crystal decanter stoppers. I pushed these into the metal grid of the potato sifter. The caught the light and added some magic. My client loved it here's some images of the finished lamp.
Verdigris

This fabulous Lamp has exceptional patina. A reclaimed Industrial copper spray can used by a farmer. The straps removed, the can cleaned and loose rust removed, after wiring hair pin legs were applied to a wooden base. The bracket which originally held the back straps were used to hold the light switch echoing the original strapping. The pierced wire lamp shade then hand painted with wax applied to the copper. A really beautiful lamp the only one in the world!!
