Etsy :: HelixDesign :: The Hand Painted Lamp Shade

Hi Everyone - It has been a while...I have been so busy!

Late September I displayed my  art from both of my original Etsy Shops (Babdoyan & Bajidoo) at the "Fall in Love with Handmade" craft show in Orlando, FL.  I was very pleased with the outcome of that show...even though it was incredibly hot!  I got sun burn that day.

Then I have been painting and drawing like crazy, getting ready for the Grand opening of "Twist of my Wrist" Bangle Boutique in West Palm Beach Florida...Where I have agree to work with Mr. John Bandy (Boutique Owner and Entrepreneur).  I will be sending 6 to 7  of my bangles to West Palm Beach for that event.

Finally I open yet a third shop on Etsy for my hand painted Lampshades, the Shop is named "HelixDesign"... Here are a few of the shades displayed there:

Golden Peacock NO2a This is the Golden Peacock, No2

Number 2 because the original Golden Peacock (a slightly different design) sold some months back.

This is a shade I named Victorian Fossil  the stylized fern reminded me of the fossil images you often see in the museum gift shops.

 

 

 

 

Then I decided to add a bit more glitz and flair using Mosaic tiles along with my paintings and I came up with "Daisies at High Tea"

I guess I had the bug to paint shades cause I kept on going...I love Dragon Flys...so I have to create a shade with dragon flys and Dandelions...Here it is:

After Dragon Flys who can resist Ladybugs?

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I designed  a little bedside table shade with a version of my "Leafy Green Lady Bug" painting on it:
