I am starting to play with lighting having created this 1:6 scale lamp in silk. Modeled by OOla and Inas. Fun!  Light up in pink by Dina, on Flickr |

they were surprisingly hard to make, I am toying with the idea of keeping on going with them and perfecting the technique

I think they're a great prop! I would definitely keep at if you're enjoying it. They look elegant and also add some lighting near your doll - perfect!

A new lampshade creation using my own printed silk, with hand embroidery and beading. Finally have worked out the best battery to bulb method and still deciding how to decorate the base.  Lights 4 by Dina, on Flickr  Lights 4a by Dina, on Flickr |

Wow! They are beautiful! The last one is my favorite. I love how this looks like a peek into a dolls living room...almost a small diorama. It feels so much cozier than a doll standing all by herself. |
