The story of this Lamp is written below the pictures :)

At a garage sale I found this interesting lamp shade with 8 sides so I kept it for an unknown future project. Some time later I came across 'Hotfix' rhinestones that are fake crystals with a dry glue backing and green leaves that melt for adhesion when heated from the front. Deciding to apply these rhinestones to the lamp shade I had bought a while back, I thought of a design including blooming ivy flowers that I had witnessed a few times before and planned the lamp accordingly. Some flexible wire cloth represents the ivy while rhinestones articulate flower petals that form 80 unique flowers arranged on this lamp. I attached a spinner underneath the lamp shade to allow it to turn around.
