At present, one of our projects is to complete 6 hanging shades for a Tented Camp Lodge in Tanzania. The client wants a very spesific look. Each hanging shade has 3 webbing strips with buckles and eyelets. Theis must be sewn on by saddle stitch. These stitches takes many hours to do, as it is done by hand, and the webbing is very thick. The shades are also lined - so one has to work through 3 layers of fabric. Herewith a peek of what we are doing. More updates to follow.....

On the local market
Hello
For those who love to keep up the interior trend - we are in for the most beautiful metals and greys. But if are you still in two minds, because you still love the old white/black combination, herewith a set of 2 lampshades which is a combo of grey and black and finished with small black pop-poms - ideal for the intermediate period.
And then the baby room - combination of mix-and-match greens are still very popular.
I will display some of my work at the Market tomorrow. Lampshades are like crockery - easily damaged and I was in two minds whether to take the risk or not. But lets give it a try.
On show will be a shade that I have just renovated for one of our local Antique Shops. It does have the most beautiful stand, and once I delivery it, I will post a pic of the lampshade with the stand. It is such a beautiful oldie - now brand new.
For all the friends who love cupcakes and all the beautiful pinks, yellows and white - a small shade to match the theme. Finished off with a white zig-zag brade which is becoming popular again. I remember as a kid, my beautiful dresses finished off with these zig-zag trimmings. Is's back!
And then the baby room - combination of mix-and-match greens are still very popular.
For Daddy and his hide-away lodge - a exquisite hanging shade in animal prints and finished off with fake monkey tail fur.
For the little princess in the house - a lilac shade, finished of heartshapes beads.
Do you need a theme for the main bedroom? This is also a set of 2 lampshades.
And then for Valentines day .... see my next post.
