My Lovely time at the Swapping Mall


I loved running a workshop and showing people how to create a lovely lamp out of milk bottle cuttings. It was nice to see how amazed they were at what you can do with a little creativity! I also created various milk bottle brooches and hair clips which were going fast! The whole event was a success and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! People got away with some rad stuff! A 13" mac book was up for swap for 6 tokens. I saw a disco ball go in seconds and some vintage clothing didn't last long on shelf either. We had 4 other experts running workshops, Up cycling furniture, clothing and jewelery. It was fun to get back to basics for a change. I hate spending money so this gave me such a lovely feeling!


This lamp was a new design i tried, not unlike the Firefly lamp with the glass jar though. I instead used a globe that my dad helped me attach to the lid of the glass jar together with the globe fitment. I then placed masking tape in stripes on the jar and sprayed it with Frosted Glass ( amazing invention BTW) :) These swapped like hotcakes!!
