They are all done! All eight drum lampshades have been handmade using shantung fabric and trim. These are not lined as they are hardbacked shades. The customer wanted more light in the room than the old shades were providing and these drum lampshades did the trick. I didn't take a close up of the fabric and should have.
The original order was going to be 16 drum lampshades; however, we didn't feel that drums would look good on the lamps below. So instead we ordered lined, shantung lampshades. These were made in the USA.
Welcome to Shades ETC's blog. My purpose for this blog is to inform you of what I'm currently creating in the home decor. I will post pictures of products as I'm making them so you can see them from start to finish. I'll tell you where I'm going to be displaying my products so if you are in the area you can come and see them in person. Come on in, grab a cup of tea, and let your eyes light up at the exquisite creations you see.

What's Up?
My blog posts seem to be missing or it's taking a long time for them to come up. I wonder what's up with that? I'm still having trouble with the text in the header too. I wonder if Wordpress is better?
I've been busy remaking lampshades for customers in PA and FL. All three were drum style lampshades. They came to me because they couldn't find replacement shades in the stores. That's my niche...to replace lampshades by remaking them using the original frames. Remaking shades gives the lamp a new look and saves the landfills.
