Hand made papers lighting up vintage lamps.
May 5, 2010
Recently I had an artist, Dana Curtis approach me with her hand made papers. They are reminiscent to the style of Jackson Pollock with her own twist of color and texture.
I fell in love with these and put them together with some of my vintage lamp collection.
We spent some time picking out lamps and talking about colors. The results are pictured above.
Thrilled how they came out, hope you enjoy them just as much as I do. To see them all visit my online shop.
I will be added more of Dana’s work to my lamps, so check back often.

I love the color combination of the papers and lamp bases. They have a great retro-meets-modern feel. Lovely pictures, too. Your blog is always inspiring!
