new

I’ve been feeling like a Handy Mandy again. My dream to have a coloured cord with a simple bulb as a hanging light above the dining table, all fuelled by the countless appearances on  Scandinavian design blogs of course, finally came true. I made it all myself – something completely new and strange to me. It’s not as easy as it seems though - the woven electric cord needed plenty of fiddling with, preventing it from shedding, not twisting it, plus the porcelain socket got blocked, chipped off…literally – a pain to handle. The result is a slightly askew, but joyous little lamp. I’ll go back to the electric supplies shop when the occasion comes  to buy a new socket, and try my best fitting it well next time.
