New Vintage Slide Lampshade
January 22nd, 2012 § 2 Comments
Here is another one of my lampshades using a different kind of slide that my lovely friend, Carol Rosenthal found on ebay. They are 2.5″ vintage slides with glass plating and metal encasings. Up until now, I’ve been using the 35mm slides with cardboard encasings so, this was a fun new experience.
The slides are from either the 50s or early 60s, taken by a family on a trip to Florida and the Henry Ford museum. The slides include scenes from Weeki Wachee Springs, Cypress Gardens park, the circus in Sarasota, FL, underwater mermaid performance shots and a couple from Niagara falls. The red tint is from the aging of the slides. the bottom ring holds the ones that turned green.
New Handmade Slide Lampshade
January 8th, 2012 § Leave a Comment
Spent 3 days at home on coffee during the holidays and put this puppy together. My new slide lampshade. The slides come from my friend, Eric who found them in a thrift store in Boston. Apparently they are back from 1978 during a rock climbing trip in Switzerland. I’ve made two slide lampshades before, but since then I’ve improved my technique and now my only inclination is to redo the others. Stay tuned…
