It is a wonderful feeling to bring something old back to life, and alongside refurbishing, the re-purposing of the bases and
painting of the lamp shades certainly appeals to my creative side,
although it is process fraught with anxiety and doubt. At the end of the
day, the mere fact that I, insignificant, regular me, can
produce anything with my hands, is a fact of wonder. I have come to the
conclusion that, whether we are talented or not, the creative impulse is
an inherent part of our human condition, and there is nothing more
satisfying than giving it course.
Let's see what you think of the result.
