The travelled lampshade

My mind has very much been on making recently, so much so, that I've started to write all my ideas down (otherwise they have a tendency to whir around my brain).

With my ideas I find that they fall into one of three categories: 1) never happen, 2)take years to achieve or 3)pop out from no where.  This one was the latter, after I fancied having an inexpensive, unique lampshade that no-one else in the WORLD would have!

I already had the lampshade, and some PVA but got the used stamps from a local charity shop for a couple of quid. 

This is Big Sis choosing the stamp that she wanted on the lampshade.




My hands got rather messy smothering the PVA on the shade and arranging the stamps just so.

The stamps feature lots of quirky things, such as a tea pot, Punch and Judy, a London Bus, to name a few which make me smile.

 
I hope that you are smiling too.
