Shades of Country
Above is a sample of a cut and pierced lampshade made by artist Marie Bauman of Troy, Pennsylvania. The lampshade is shown with the light off and on displaying the style and design. This lampshade is 7 inches diameter at the top, 16 inches diameter at the bottom, and has a 17 inch drop. A fabric braid trim has been placed along the top and bottom of the shade for a finishing touch. Marie has painted the inside of the lampshade with watercolors and cut designs in the paper to enhance the light pattern when illuminated, as well as provide a texture-like pattern when the light is off.
Above is a display at a recent arts and crafts show.

Several types of lamps are in stock. The main purpose for maintaining an inventory of lamps is to allow the artist to design various lampshades for them and for display purposes at shows. These lamps can be mixed and matched with the various shades created, or purchased by themselves. This inventory changes frequently and the lamps shown are a representative sample of the types of lamps available.

Lighthouse Lamp example shown below
This is a very nice, quality lighthouse custom built by a local craftsman utilizing primarily oak. A six sided lampshade was designed and created by the artist. The actual lighthouse is approximately 29 inches tall and with the lampshade measures approximately 38 inches. This is a limited inventory item and normally will have to be built on request.
