Thanks bamalamalu. I ended up changing the bulb in the peacock chair from a blue one to an orange one, which looked much better, but then the other day i happened to find a yellow globe in a draw that i had bought a long time ago and had no idea i had so i swapped the orange one out for the yellow and that looked even better again. I haven't actually taken a photo of that so i'll have to take one and post it later.

Finished up another lamp today also using a found object. This one was an interesting one to build. I knew this basket thing.....

.....i started out with had potential but being hand woven out of natural materials, the top and bottom didn't sit parallel to one another so i had to work out a way how to fix that and came up with the rope stringers(?) to pull it into alignment. It was a challenge attaching those to the top and bottom sections i had already made but i worked it out and once it was finally assembled with the hat i couldn't have been more pleased with the result. One of the more unusual lamps i've made but also one of my most favourites.

There will be more lamps to come at some stage (i have heaps of bits and pieces in various stages of completion) but the next time i post it will be picture frames i've made. Finished one a couple of days ago but i have one more i need to get done first before i post them all.
