Inspiration comes from everywhere.
I have a sweater that I love because of its design and colors. I also have a plain white thrift store lamp shade ($3) and a box of colorful sharpies that beg to be used.
Put it all together and what do you get....?

Wow! This is fantastic! It would be a pleasure to have you join my weekly link party and share this. http://thelifeofjenniferdawn.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-little-bird-told-me-link-party-46.html
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer. I just added my newest post (fireplace redo) to your link party from yesterday. Thanks for the invite and thanks for visiting. Please consider following :)
DeleteI love the lamp shade! You did a fantastic job! Pinning.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I appreciate the kind words and the pin!
DeleteWow! This is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteWOW!! This is just brilliant!! You did a great job--did you just freehand it? Would love to hear the details!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining Grace at Home!
Thanks Richella. Yes, I did do it freehand but it would have worked just as well if I had put the sweater under the shade and lightly traced the design with a pencil. I have another shade to do, just waiting for the inspiration. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteStunning! I love it. :) I never would have thought to use a sharpie like that. The colors are vivid and so very summery!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from DIY by Design. :)
How pretty, the lamp turned out beautifully!!!!! Love how the sweater design inspired you, you did an awesome job!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria. I never know what's going to inspire me LOL, but I think this one worked out.
DeleteSo cute!! Looks just like the sweater, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing on Coastal Charm.

Thank you Jenny. Glad you liked it. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteOh my word, I totally didn't read that close enough! I featured this tonight on my Trash 2 Treasure party but I thought you actually cut up the sweater and used it to recover your lampshade! I was thinking, but she loved her sweater??? Hmmmm, now she can't wear it anymore! I'm a dork. AND you are talented!!!! :) Looks awesome
ReplyDeleteLOL...I noticed that but figure what the heck. No harm and you were gracious enough to feature me so I was excited anyway. Thanks!!!
DeleteOMGoodness! That turned out great! Love the vivid colors and you did a great job with the drawings! Thanks for sharing at the Rock 'N Share! Hope to see you again soon! D@TheShadyPorch
ReplyDeleteP.S. Pinned to my DIY Home board.

DeleteI love this. Great job. I can't believe you free handed this. Very talented.
