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.
