Fine Embroidery's lampshades

I already wrote in my blog about FineEmbroidery Featured seller - interview with FunEmbroidery Its owner, Lana, is an embroidery designer with many years of experience. Her specialties are unique embroidery, custom monograms, OOAK suede accessories and stunning 3-D embroidered artworks.

Today, I would like to tell my readers about a new direction of her work - unique lampshades sewing by hand. 

Are you familiar with that feeling when walking alone on a cold, windy winter night you accidentally glance inside one's window and see a little cozy place with a nice lampshade on? The light from the lampshade is warm and welcoming. It is mesmerizing and inviting one to enter the home, be warmed up with a cup of tea and be comforted with an apple pie. 

All of Lana's lampshades are special. Each one has its unique form, embroidery decorations, beaded fringe and tassels. Lana is using vintage lamp bases and finishes her work in various vintage styles that so many adore. 

For example, this lampshade is done in Victorian Style:



It is made out of deep honey color fabric in the shape of a tulip. It is decorated with 3-D embroidered butterflies whose wings and antennas are flexible and can be rearranged to give it a real feel. Finally, there is hand assembled glass beads fringe. A lamp with such lampshade offers soft and warm light inviting one to cozy up in an armchair with a cup of tea and a good book to read. 

Next lamp is done in the Art Nouveau Style:



A delicate, sugar color alabaster lampshade of mid past century is harmoniously matched with a flower shaped lampshade made with vintage dupioni silk of two colors: pearly cream and soft pink. It is further decorated with a stylish embroidered dragonfly which was specially created for this lampshade in the Art Nouvean Style. This touch emphasizes the feminine side of this design. 

Further, the lampshade's romantic feel is achieved by adding silk tassels of delicate peach color. This lampshade would look lovely in a girly boudoir especially if matched with white and pink décor details of the interior. 

Next lampshade is made in the Hollywood Regency design:



An early 1960th lamp base is decorated with two chain hanged crystal plates that are imitating a balancing scale of justice. The lampshade's classic form is covered with vintage dupioni silk of milky white color. This sample is decorated with amber color embroidery of Damask pattern which was specially created for this lamp. The decorative fringe is highlighted with vintage style beads of deep honey color. This piece would be a perfect dining room decoration. Its crystal plates could serve as candle holders or dessert/fruits serving plates. 

Lana offers lampshades in different stiles and for every taste
- for a kid’s room


For a living room


For a luxurious bedroom -



Lana's lampshades will make your home more comfortable, will add glamour to the interiors and show your personality and impeccable taste.

Return of the Corset!

I always admired women of 19 century with waist tight and big crinolins. From here it’s developed my secret desire – one day I will have a corset too!

Waist Reducing Jacquard CORSET

Last time corset is returning to moda – that says couturier! For me, young girl, can be only a pleasure. We all want to be fragile and vulnerable, but simultaneously elegant and womanly. Now new materials and technologies help us to create corsets. Modern corset seems very seductive, it’s distant from masochism of Middle Ages - permit to easily moving and don’t cause discomfort. Corset selected correctly, can reduce waist notice, has effect push-up, ably hide abdomen, help to support posture. Corsets it’s possible to wear as independently, as under a jacket or over a flimsy chemise, it’s combine well with jeans, pants and bouffant skirts. Simple corset perfectly look with classic suit instead a top or with maxi-skirt from dense silk.

Waist reducing atlas corset with lace

This several models was created and sewn by me, you can find corset more formal from fine wool, it’s well also for a work, another one young from tartan, or classic and elegant from atlas with lacework.

In one of next post i will tell of some secrets for sewn a corset: how to cut spiral bones, how to applying a busk and a bias type and etc.


Waist reducing Wool corset

Io ho sempre ammirato le donne del 19 secolo con la vita stretta e grandi crinolini. Di qua si è sviluppato il mio segreto desiderio – SI, anche io avrò il corsetto!

In quest’ultimo tempo il corsetto sta tornando di moda - cosi dicono i couturier! A me, giovane ragazza, non può altro che fare piacere. Noi tutte vogliamo essere fragili e protette, ma nello stesso tempo eleganti e femminili. Oggi nuovi materiali e tecnologie ci aiutano a creare i corsetti. Il corsetto moderno si presenta molto seducente, ma lontano dal masochismo Medievale, consente di muoversi liberamente e non causa nessuna scomodità. Il corsetto, scelto correttamente, riduce il giro vita notevolmente, solleva il seno, nasconde il ventre, aiuta a mantenere il portamento.

Il corsetto si puo indossare sia da solo che sotto una giacca o sopra una camicia leggera, si combina molto bene con jeans, pantaloni e gonne vaporose. I corsetti, semplici, si possono mettere benissimo con un tailleuer classico invece del top o con la gonna maxi di seta pesante.

Questi modelli sono stati creati e confezionati da me, potete trovare il corsetto piu ufficioso di lana sottile, buono anche a lavoro, quello giovanile di tartan, o classico ed elegante di atlas con decorazione di pizzo. In uno dei prossimi post io racconto alcuni segreti di cucitura dei corsetti: come tagliare stecche spirali, come cucire busk e etc.
