When I was visiting family over Thanksgiving I saw an ingenious way to use them all up - of course my Aunt was responsible for it. So when I got home I went right to work making my own.
It took me a week to get all the crystals strung. I bought LOTS of additional Swaroski colored crystals to string inbetween the larger ones. Thanks to Mum I have a BUNCH of snowflake crystals... my favorite!
It took a while to get them all strung up correctly. The lamp is from World Market it had a bunch of shells hanging off of it, I just chopped them all off and then restrung the lamp with crystals hung on fishing line.
I just LOVE how it turned out! It sits in a corner in the living room and cast a yummy warm sparkly glow. Sheries also has really pretty copper that she put a pattern into running over the top of the lamp. I haven't ordered any yet... so we will see if I ever get to that!
Meanwhile I am just loving it the way it is. Thanks for the great idea Sherie... and letting me copy you! You need to show everyone yours! 
It's great Jess! Now I need to see both up close again! I LOVED Sher's when I saw it.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS! Was this a recent project? I thought your mom told me you made a lamp a while back.
ReplyDeletethat is soooo cool!
ReplyDeleteYeah I just did this... The only other one I made she has and it is more of a candle holder....
ReplyDeleteSheries looks totally different she used different colors and crystals so she needs to show everyone hers!

Hummmmmmm...why didn't I ever buy some of the crystals on all those shopping trips I got to go on........where could I get a bunch of those crystals?!?!?!?!?!
