Daisy -   Table Lamp
The Daisy table lamp combines a beautifully finely textured lampshade with a daisy design on a solid oak base. The shade is felted merino wool with embroidered daisies arranged in a pattern across the  surface. The lampshade is mounted on a solid oak base with antique brass fittings and linen covered flex.
 
The lampshades are handmade using the traditional practice of wet felting using a process known as 'nuno'. The wool and fabric are worked together by hand, using a green olive oil soap solution. This involves applying soapy water to the wool fibres before rubbing and rolling the fabric and fibres, until they intermingle and fuse together,  forming a permanent bond. The felted fabric is attached to a fire and heat resistant lampshade backing and frame.  
 
The wooden lamp base is made of solid English Oak. It has been created in collaboration with wood worker Micheal Taylor, who sources the wood from his woodland on the Wreaking in Shropshire. Micheal prepares and cuts my design in the wood before I attach the antique brass lamp fittings and twisted linen flex cord. The wood is then polished with beeswax to bring out the beautiful patina and textures of the wood.
 
Each item is a truly unique piece of work, handmade in my garden studio in South Birmingham. Due to the handmade production processes, each lampshade & base may have a slightly different placement of design or wood grain than can be seen in the photos above.
 
...Our lampshades evoke feelings of warmth and comfort to every room in your home...
