From Vessel to Light

As I was working on yesterdays 30 Minute Felt Project, I kept thinking about about felt lighting and how interesting this piece might be turned into a lampshade.

I love felt in lighting. There is nothing so soft, warm and inviting as the way light travels through the wool fibres.  I have made many pieces , small and large, contemporary and whimsical, and once showed my felt lighting range at the Interior Design Show in Toronto. I have a whole new series designed…just need to time to make them…

This piece is more in keeping with the playful and experimental….I may hang it up in our living room for a little refreshing change of inside scenery…..

Lovely and light!

Warm wishes,
Fiona
