ick those lamps into third gear! Here is a third masterpiece of a lamp made by RJNJ (my junking hubby) from rescued auto parts. The first lamp has a home in our entry. The second lamp was a gift to his gear-head buddy. This one? Sold at the Prize show in October. Can't wait to see what fourth gear looks like!
STEP 1.
Start with a foundation of uber-cool gear-like auto parts.
STEP 2.
Using a lighting kit, add a rod and a few more gear-like bits & bobs (not the technical terminology). Add some shine and shimmer with a glass hurricane surround.
STEP 3.
Put the cherry on top with a gorgeous lamp shade. Voila!
STEP 4.
The ambience? Exquisite!!
Wow, very cool lamp! I love the glass globe covering the gear "designs" inside.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! He's got "the gift" too, I see!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love it! I should have requested the old parts from my major car repair this past week, huh? I've never seen a transmission. Have you? It sounds like a big part, much too large for a lamp. I wonder what I could have done with it? haha
ReplyDeleteThanks for the votes! You're so good to me! ;)
Enjoy the weekend!
