ODDIC SHADE
The curls for this piece not only cast interesting shadows on to walls and ceilings, when made with either brass or copper ribbons the shine of the metal curls also reflect the light in many different ways.
Beauty from all angles is paramount with all my designs; this piece achieves this and more, making it a feature piece in any room.
Instead of copper ribbons (as in the photographed example), brass or leather ribbons are alternative options for this design at no extra cost. Note that the leather ribbons are wider at one end than the other in order to hold their shape better.
The name 'Oddic' is inspired by the curves generated by the waves on Oddicombe Beach in Devon, a beautiful beach in walking distance to where I grew up.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Wipe clean with a dry soft cloth or light feather duster.
If you have opted for the leather ribbons for this shade, periodically (once a year maybe) apply a little beeswax with a cloth to the leather to help condition it and maintain its lustre.
With the metal elements and leather (if opted for) included in this piece it is not recommended for use in high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens.
RECOMMENDED BULBS
Maximum wattage 25W LED.
Bulbs are not included, but I would recommend an E27 LED Vintage light bulb with amber glass to compliment the design.
A lamp shade ring adaptor is provided so the 40mm fitting for E27 lamp holders can be reduced to 28mm for B22 lamp holders.

-
With the leather ribbons, as I hand-dye them myself the colour options are vast, though with water-based stains (which I prefer as they reflect more of the true character of the leather with them being more translucent compared to leather dyes and acrylic paints) the darker colours are always more vibrant than the lighter colours. For this design you could have multiple colours for one shade - if this was a consideration please contact Sarah to discuss this option further.

The size of this piece can be modified to some extent to suit your needs - to commission a different size piece please contact Sarah to discuss this option further.
