ArtShades' New Website Goes Live

After months of work I am very excited to announce that my brand new website has today gone live! 

It has an entirely new layout, colour scheme and structure, all topped off with a new logo - which you might have noticed appear on my blog header in the last few days.

The site is split into gallery sections by lampshade type enabling visitors to see lots of different shades to inspire a personalised commission.  It's been designed with space for me to add new images as I make new lamps so keeping it fresh and up-to-date.

Order forms are included to make the commissioning process easy.

It also has an online shop with one-off items in stock for immediate purchase.

I have tried to think of everything that will make visiting an enjoyable experience and I hope the result is visually appealing and easy to navigate.

Do take a look and let me know what you think - your feedback is always welcome.  Thank you!

 

PS  A big thank you to Matt at Top Spin Web Design for his patience - I know I can be a very demanding customer! 

Map Half Lamps

As many of you know I make lamps to order using a map of an area that has significance to the customer.  I love it when I can go back to them having found the map that features their requested town/city and say it will sit perfectly within the frame.

One such city is Lincoln.  Here I used an OS map dated 1963 and the way the map was folded means Lincoln sits beautifully centred.

Neither the stitched line nor the shade's frame obscure the places important to the recipient.  It doesn't always work out that way.

Very satisfying!
