Party Hat.

I call this my "Party Hat." It is the shade for my antique floor lamp. I found the barrel shade at a garage sale and recovered it with the lavender material. Then added the ribbon, lace and flowers. Sorry about the double pictures but I was having trouble with my browser and tried several times to load my pictures and this is the results I got today.

Below is a close up of the center of the shade. The wide pink ribbon is actually satin blanket binding, another garage sale find. I made the pink wisteria type flowers from satin ribbon and the lavender roses from wired ribbon. The dark green leaves are satin. The Lace is vintage Chantilly lace. And if you noticed the little dragon fly, it is a lapel pin.


Below. This is a close up of the far right side, you can see the lace better. The flowers are made with satin and wired ribbon.

This is the far left side, the butterfly is lace , and you can see the purple tassels. Again all the flowers are satin and wired ribbon.
This a close up of the center part of the lamp shade, the double tassel is one of my favorite parts. I really like the way this shade turned out. It has been setting in my parlor ( so dubbed by a young man not myself). It makes me smile. I hope it did the same for you. TTFN
