There are these days that I make these types of things that I just shake my head and say---violaaaaa---or more like ta-daaaaaaa----sometimes they just turn out awesome---and sometimes I say---dang and scrap the whole darn deal---I am happy to say ta-daaaaaaa!!!!
Here's my lamp---made from an early 1900's Elkhart of Indiana Silver Plated Cavalier Clarinet---the silver is tarnished and gives the piece a real antique feel---the lamp shade was made from old sheet music that I decoupaged onto the shade and added some trimmins' to---it really is quite stunning! I hope you agree---it is listed on Ebay now---

Loving this! Woot! Woot! I have made lamps but never from a clarinet! You're a genius.
Hey Susie, Stace and Blondie---Why thank you you's guys----I am loving the way this turned out---so Vintage Looking it really has a cool look to it---I have another one that is Black---waiting to see how this one does first---fingers crossed----I sure appreciate all of you's!!! You all make me smile----
What a clever idea, who would of thought to make a lamp! very, very creative!!!
Can you share how you accomplished this? I have my old (black) clarinet sitting around, and I'd love to use it in some way.
Honey you are so darn talented, AND a jack of all trades... That is so fun!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! Kiss that bad monkey for me.... hopefully he has not been on on a bender!!! LOL!! Hugs, MO
This is SO creative, love it! You always come up with the most awesome ideas, brillant! I hope it sells for a ton! I got my tatto for my 50th b-day present from my daughter Rochelle. I love it, it hurt getting it and took a while to heal but I am very happy to have it now it's part of me. I'm trying to get back into the swing but it's going slow. Today I tackle my craft room, moving everything out so I can remodel. I keep telling myself I will be so happy when it's done. Miss you lots, take care, hugs!
Renee, I just KNOW a music enthusiast is going to gobble that clarinet lamp right up! I love the shade and your creativity :) xox
