My Mad-Hatter Lamp!

It's my Mad-Hatter Lamp!

First we acquire a zillion pieces of china and tea-ish stuff...

I always do things in bulk...always.

 Then, patiently drill holes with a diamond bit...

we didn't break any dishes, but it drained the batteries on 

the drills that we had to recharge after ever 4 dishes or so...

 Here's the pile of ceramic, china, glass
and pottery plugs we drilled out...

{I'm saying "we" because my sis-in-law is my sidekick}

Then the fun part...we thought!

Deciding which pieces we like together!

 Which turned out hard because they looked ridiculous 

all multi-colored and freaky...

So we opted to paint them first...then decide.

Mostly neutral lamp...so we did glossy white...

Teapots charcoal...except mine, I did Global Blue!

 Then I applied a super awesome flourish vinyl

cut with my Silhouette.

And the intricate wiring of the lamp
and PRESTO!  I did it!

 I love it so much!  I am freakin awesome!

 You know you want one.

I'll keep that in mind, as I've got 5 more to finish up!

Thanks for looking!

If you have some time, you can tell me how awesome I am!
