Here’s a cut-and-paste montage that I put together (for an e-course) of things that inspire me, my lampshade designs and my blog.
If you’d like to have a closer look here is the left half
and here a close-up of the right.
Rich colours, light and reflections ….. artisans and collections …. flowers and gardens.
All these things make me happy. Do any look familiar?







WOW! Its crammed with goodies! I love the different lamps & lights & how beautifully the blues on the left become pinks on the right.

I like the glass aspects. Beautiful!
Absolutely LOVE those floral lampshades down the left hand side of your board Sarah … do you make those?
Great board… see you in class!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Allison – I did laugh, no they are not my shades. I included them here because they too are inspired by nature and I love the way they have been photographed. They are printed designs (mine are stitched and cut) and surprisingly they were all designed and made by different people/companies. They’re from a 2007 issue of Elle Decoration. Sarah x
the colours of your board match perfectly the colours in your blog banner “Artshades”, the real you shining through 🙂
I think your collage is very beautiful!! Very rich in colour and texture. I like how it moves from one colour to the next. Great work!!
See yoy on BYW.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Gorgeous colors. Great job on this. Your sense of style is so apparent here.
Hi Sarah -it’s so fabulous how your inspiration board really reflects what you do -this is a gorgeous piece. Your sensitivity to color shows and I like the images of the holiday ornaments you included -it really helped me visualize what you are drawn too -how reflective they are and how they seem to sparkle with rich color tone. I really admire what you do and your sense of craftsmanship.
Oh this board is so fun to look at…so many things to draw me in. Love the floral lampshades!! You can tell you’re very creative.
I love how this captures the colour spectrum and all the glass just makes it glow – beautiful!
It’s lovely to hear from you all – thanks so much for your feedback.
Very creative inspiration board. It is really you. Thanks for sharing. I am also a BYW student.
