Handmade soaps, root candles, fabric purses and laptop bags, jewelry, pottery, painted china, painted wine glasses…There are too many artists represented at Ring Around A Rosy to count!  This is just a small picture of the items available in downtown Warren, PA.  Oh, and my lamps too!

Making Teacup Lamps - Part 1

Cleaned Teacup Saucers and Cups

I'm in the process of making 23 more teacup lamps and lampshades.  The first step was cleaning them and getting the stickers off.

Gluing cup and saucer

Next comes gluing the teacup to the saucer.  It takes a while as the glue has to set overnight.  It is also very stinky.  But the E6000 gives a nice, tight hold on the ceramic.

Philipines teacup saucer. Made in 1983.

Some of the teacups come from interesting places like China, Japan, and this one from the Philipines.  It was made in 1983.
