Lampshades at Chelsea

Although the TV coverage of Chelsea Flower Show is excellent, one of the things you don’t get to see are all the wonderfully inspiring stalls selling all manner of goodies from around the world. One of my favourites was this one from Germany with products by  Rosemarie Schulz , she also writes a blog . I just loved all the dried natural material and how they were framed.

The large moss-covered lampshade was about £350, I have to admit to being tempted by it to go above my dining room table, but am wondering if I can produce a similar effect in crochet or knitting – I’m thinking I could make the moss with chenille yarn, I’d probably add some fern leaves as well and then it would be a homage to my favourite Artisan Garden, the Senri-Sentei-Garage Garden that won a gold medal and the Show’s President’s Award.

Joining week 15 of our Photo Challenge, click on the link to see all the upcoming prompts …..

…..a few of us like to combine this challenge with Ronovan’s weekly Haiku Challenge

Ron’s prompts this week are LIFE and PATH which is perfect for the photo I have chosen this week as paths in Japanese gardens are often designed as a metaphor for life.

Next week’s Photo Subject is REFLECTION
