Giggles and Smiles With SK

I think I am taking myself WaY ToO serious...Do you ever have one of those days where you wake up in this weird and skewed mind set?
So please view with a grin and maybe a lighthearted "duh" moment. Give it up folks, you know this is hilarious. Take a minute and recall something totally outrageous you did and it just didn't work...Just a little smile?

I have this old and very tattered lampshade. Scarlet fabric with who knows what was dripped down the side. I always made sure the stain was turned toward the back...
I love the shape so, (remember what my mood was in today,) I decided to make something of it. How could it possibly be worse than when I started? Oh wait. It can. I promise.
The stand is wonderful and I had a need to save this poor baby today.
Note to self: You might want to learn how to cover lampshades. Naw. Can't be that hard. Can it?
Strip...Leaving hot glue globs. I really should have given up at this point. Ya think? Not me.
Crap.
Still trying to get hot glue off. Yep that is just what you think you're seeing, silk tearing off the edges.
Started adding new paper making sure I remembered the curvature. Oh and I had to add four strips of other paper to make it look very artsy and even better.
Oh Dear!
I have a skewed sense of humor but this one just pissed me off. Then I started to laugh...Ah well. No cost. Thank goodness. Makes me wonder what the heck I was thinking. Also makes me wonder whoever told me I was an artist?
Enjoyed the project?

Jeanette S on Jun 28, 2014Thanks for the early morning giggle! I love it! I am sure you will do something. I am sure if you just take a good look at the bones of this shade, you will see the pattern you need to follow! I can hardly wait for Chapter 2, be it a solution or another thriller!
