Tim Holtz Grunge suitcase lamp

Hi everyone :-)

Wanted to share this suitcase lamp i made to go in a room with old cameras ans sewing machine

Made it a bit masculine and grunge to get the old feel.

Had a lot of fun getting my hands dirty and used a lot of different texture and paints to get the look I was going for. Used an old lamp and took it apart and painted it.

Also used a lot  accessories from Tim Holtz.

Fun fun fun :-)

Sewed on chain and glued on laces.

Under the lamp there is a a lighter, some altered bottles and a vintage man stamp from Tim Holtz ( Paris memoir ) that i stamped 2 times. Colored with distress markers and then glued him together wit 3d foam

The lamp is fastened on the 1. suitcase.

4 different sizes and techniques. Used the new buckles from TH and fastened them on leather strips.

The suitcase handles are made from thick grunge board and the tags are from the packaging.
