I’ve just finished this embroidered lampshade.  I had originally made the pair with bird pictures.  I completed one but I was not happy with the way the bird looked on the second.  I contemplated for a month before I ripped it off.  And I was undecided for another month about what new embroidery to design.

I thought I would draw a picture of Shorty chasing a squirrel.

This is the first lamp with the bird embroidery.  It’s in the kitchen on a table that Chris built, also from driftwood.

More dog pictures.

I like to use raffia for this kind of embroidery, it’s thick and heavy and makes a nice contrast to the other thread.

Chris turned this pair of lamps from driftwood.  The lamps were fabricated by Landbridge Lighting.
