Kitschy Virgin of Guadalupe Lampshade

I needed a new lamp for my desk and couldn’t find anything that excited me at the store. I settled with an old shade from the thrift store and decided to make use of my extra art supplies.

Using hot glue and Liquid Fusion adhesive, I used striped trim for the borders, and then a different medium for each side – rubber stamping, buttons, applique and rickrack. I added trim on the edges and on the seams. Now I have a lamp that inspires me. I like that I can turn it around for a whole new look.

Felicidades,
Kathy 🙂
