This is not a great photo but it's the view from the top looking down on a floor lamp I made yesterday.
This will be the ceiling light fixture for the kitchen.
These were so simple to make. I used inexpensive tiny suction cup hooks from Dollar Tree for the shades. The "leading" was done with a black Sharpie permanent marker and I used a toothpick to apply glass paint to the tiny sections.
Then I used a variety of materials to construct the actual lamps. The floor lamp has a wooden base with a flat bead as trim. The pole is a fancy toothpick and I used a small bead as the light bulb.
The kitchen light has a jewelry finding tip and part of a button for the ceiling mount.
I also made a light for the dining room and a ceiling fan for the living room but I'm having trouble getting decent photos.
I used beads and jewelry findings to make lights for the bedroom. They are a different style but still appropriate for the style of the house.
I'll keep trying for better pics. :)

Brilliant! I've been mulling over ideas for lights like these for awhile. Yours look awesome!
Very clever, De, I never would have thought to use suction cups! Can't wait to see a picture of it at home in its room.
Hope you're staying warm up there, I'm so glad we got a break from all the snow!
