Most of the pole lamps I've seen from the 50s have colored shades - usually in pink, white, and turquoise. I wasn't sure how to make them colored until I used nail polish on the canisters.
The polish worked well on the lamp shades, too. It's all coming together, detail by detail.
I've been happily married for 33 years to my high school sweetheart and we have three great kids. All are young adults. I'm currently working part time as an instructional assistant at the local elementary school. My mini life is especially important to me because it takes me away (better than a bubble bath!) from the stresses of real life. I've been involved with mini-ing since the late 1980s with a break for about 10 years while my children were young.
My faith and my family are very important to me. I am so thankful that God blessed me with the gift of creativity!
