Here is one of the photos that I am working from. It is from an old building on Prelle place des Victoires in the second arondissement.

One of my first challenges was the lantern. I wanted some borders between the panels, each about 1/4 inch but not rigid. Based in part on a suggestion from Pat Pauly's workshop, I cut strips about an inch wide and hemmed to one side of a cut out panel. I then trimmed to about a half inch and hemmed with a 1/4 inch seam to another panel.
Here is the finished lantern.
Will keep you posted as the project progresses.
I love lampposts like this! Thank you for sharing your process. I look forward to watching this piece and your series progress.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bee. It is a fun project for me. I am working in a larger format than usual.
