A lamp made from paper

lamps  I do love to play with pretty paper. Here is a prime example of that – something I made for no reason other than I felt like it!

The lamp was made using a file from www.svgcuts.com (I’m very quickly becoming addicted to their stuff!). It was cut using my trusty Silhouette Cameo, I still love this machine and use it at least a couple of times a week. I used American Crafts cardstock (it’s the best I’ve found for cutting). I think the patterned paper is by K & Company but I’ve had it so long that it’s hard to be sure!

The tiny led candle I got at a local Pound Shop. Although the paper I used for the panels is quite thin, the light doesn’t really show up as well as I’d like. So next time I’ll use vellum for the panels. I also think I’d weigh down the next one with some beans or rice. Just to help it stand up straight!

What font are you?

It’s no secret, I’m a font junkie. Love them. Love them. Love them. So when I stumbled across this quiz I had to take it.

Apparently I’m Helvetica. I’m not entirely sure I agree with this. I’d much rather be a swirly, loopy kinda font. But perhaps I’m just a “perfectionist who is always in style.” Apparently “bold yet classic, Helveticas are balanced, confident, and strong – they can always be counted on in a pinch.” Maybe that doesn’t sound so bad after all 🙂

Which font are you?!
