This lamp progressed really quickly once I began.
I cut a recess into the base and washed it with gold ochre acrylic paint, then added fine gold dust to pick out the gold within the label. I added a red LED into the base to accentuate the gorgeous bright red of the shade, and wired in the red silk braided flex. The shade is covered in sumptuous red broderie anglaise fabric and I love how vibrant and colourful this lamp looks.
