I have this connection to deer, they have come into my life at different times. In Indian medicine the Deer represent gentleness, they are here to teach us to touch the hearts and minds of wounded beings who are in our way. Sheds are the antler’s that naturally fall off of deer. I collect them and love that I pair together steel and horn, to create this wonderful lamp.
I have a fabulous person who comes into my studio every Saturday and straightens out my workshop, she said “Susan, it is Father’s day soon, get this wired, make a shade and take a picture of it”, so I did.
Here is a perfect grouping for the Dad in your life. Hope you enjoy looking, I enjoyed making it. I have put it together with matches and a tissue box cover all to honor the Deer.
If you are in the area stop by and see it or visit my online store.
