The first thing that struck me about Judy Lake's book is the incredible photography! Along with very specific instructions for each lampshade project is a pictorial showing all the elements needed to create the shade as well as how different steps of how the project should look. The well described guidelines along with the beautiful photos make it near impossible to mess up! Love it! The book is divided into sections - easy shades, intermediate, advanced, lamps and finials and templates along with a glossary and resource information. The shade that caught my eye is the Heirloom Photo Shade, shown with pictures of the lampshade made from photocopies of photographs of Judy Lake's Australian Shepherds. Fabulous idea for gift making and for use of all my own dog photographs. If you are interested in fabrics, lampshades, creative projects or looking for a book to help create unusual and personalized gifts - don't pass up this incredibly well done Guide to light up your life! Well done Judy Lake!

Excellently Presented

I was very impressed with Judy's book on making lampshades. She was very thorough, down to the smallest detail. The difference between "homemade" and "custom" is HUGE, and Judy guides you through the entire process for a real professional look. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has a real desire to make custom lampshades and put a designer's touch on their total decorating.

Who knew making lampshades could be so fun!
17 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover
Having studied lampshade-making with Judy Lake, I can attest to the fact that her book reflects the passion she brings to her art. I found her day-long seminar in VT both fun and enlightening, and I anxiously awaited the release of her book. Now that it's availabile, I have been able to broaden my knowledge base. The book is easy to follow, features terrific photos, and best of all, it provides a wealth of fresh ideas. Through Judy's insight, I am now able to see all kinds of creative possibilities! I am really enjoying making my own shades, and I have Judy--and her book--to thank for that.
