Recovered lampshade and 70s lampstand base

So... I found this amazing lampstand base in a little vintage shop sitting on it's own without a lampshade!! I had been thinking for a while that I must recover an old shade that I had and also spurred on by Liisa's shade she covered and her tales of her exploits at the lampshade covering course I thought I would have a go... made it up as I went along!

Before in the sunshine and raining outside...



Amazing amber middle...
