I'm in love with Stray Dog Designs. Have you heard of them? Their stuff is inspirational/phenomenal/jealousy-inducing/ultra pricey. So when I found a rather boring lamp for $5 at a local shop, I saw potential. I saw a $400 coveted design underneath that dark, dull exterior. And so I purchased it, with the intent to turn it into a Stray Dog inspired masterpiece... Of course having no experience in the art of paper mache, the road towards the finished product was a rocky one. But it was worth it. The end result is lovely.
(please excuse the poor photos. only have the camera on my phone at the moment.)
