Wood Veneer Pendant Lighting: A Modern Twist on Vintage

How to create pendant light fixture from broken pieces of wood veneer!
Taking all my broken pieces of veneer, I created a pendant shade that matched the look and feel of all the vintage artwork lining my hallway. To add a modern twist to it, I finished the pendant shades with an amazing colour from Para Paints.
How-To:
5) Lay your shade flat on the table and sporadically glue different widths of your veneer around the edge of the inner embroidery hoop. Keep in mind it’s supposed to look old so the rougher it looks, the better. You can’t go wrong with this one!

Reminds me of a lamp I made from Finland back in the mid 70's. It was 1" strips of birch glued into 4" circles and then stacked upon each other in consecutive circles small to large and then back to small. It was an awesome shade that we hung above a split stairwell. I might try to make one again.

Cute idea, so the fabric is the top on an hoop?
