Summer Roses is so beautiful, I think it's your loveliest lamp so far. Wish it would fit in my cabinet but it would be too tall... sigh...

Thank-you pianissimo It has already sold so I guess someone else loved it as much too! These little lamps dont just need to be in the cabinet, they look just as lovely on the mantle as a little light as well as next to your lovely collection for photos and posing  Night time glow:  Summer Roses lamp at night by Dina, on Flickr |

A few new lamps ready for the Melbourne Doll show a the end of this month. All 1/4 scale, 40cm tall and powered by AA batteries. These ones were a little easier to make, I didnt hand-bead all the fringe nor hand embroidery the shades! If you are interested in one let me know and I will reserve it for you. More pics on Flickr.
