Fiona's Highly "Illuminating" Workshop- Part 3 of 3

This nighttime illumination photo...

...with its 'jack o' lantern'-like appearance...

...seems like an apt one for a Halloween post, doesn't it?!? :)


 Here are its spooky 'innards'...

...a metal ring with three braces leading to a center hole...

...plus an cord set like this one.


Conceptually, I imagined an oblong, exterior shape...


...with circular piercings...


...filled with a second, spherical shape...

...fashioned with circular inclusions that would show up as dark spots...

...when the lamp was illuminated.



                               I wanted to be able to look through the cut-out circles...



                              ...to see circular 'dots' on the inner (circular) felt sphere...

                                  

                                   ...and also all the way through the lampshade...


                                 

                                       ...via circular holes on the opposite side.

                      (This detail shows the inner sphere with its darkened circle...

                           ...and beyond it, several holes in the opposite side.)



                                                     The finished lamp at night.

I LOVE this! What another creative way to showcase felting. I'm always thinking about what to wear not what to let your home wear.
