![]() due to a sensitivity to strong lighting, i swapped my chandelair type lampshade with twin for an upturned saucer type. It had wee bumps in the centre and was semi transparent glass i think, none the less, i placed small red glass beads amongst the bumps in the bowl, larger disc shape glass beads found at woodies about a year ago, around the centre in a circle and then, saved from another lampshade i place pink butterflies, pink flowers and pink leaves all around the larger red glass discs in a haphazrd fashion.
it looks great and i really think it looks more expensive and great effect. will post pic tomorrow or soon hopefully. with a new sage hoose, so much has been repurposed and done, i cannot wait to show all my friends here what i have done. xminnie pal |

![]() Oh Minnie Pal - that is just gorgeous. You could've found yourself a wee side line there - the design thing must run in the family.
