Once, back in my thea-TAH days I was making a costume and needed a certain number of paste jewels to sew onto the bodice and the helpful staff at the shop I bought the gems at assured me --swore up and down-- that they could "special order" the number I needed, so I reluctantly purchased the few they had in stock (against better judgment) and foolishly stitched them to the garment and OF COURSE it turned out they were no longer available!
Ever since, I am a bit sceptical of "back" and "special"-orders. Anyway, here's the lamp"
I like how the black cast iron color is repeated in both the lamp and the balcony railing. Cross your fingers that the other lamp arrives, someday!
As I feared the LED, battery-powered light is absolutely garish! Karin Corbin says I can tone it down with paint, but the color is such a ghastly, neon-bluish hue that I fear any attempt at masking it will only result in an even more hideous tone. I suppose I will try anyway because I could never live with it as is. Perhaps there are less shall we say vulgar colored LED bulbs available?
