Casapinka wrote to me today about her friend Amy Leonard and her sculptural lamps. Amy is the blogger behind Design DNA and creates these glass cloche lamps merely as hobby right now, although I can see her selling these designs or the lamps themselves to stores like Caravan in London, Figments in Providence, Deyrolle in Paris, or even Anthropologie because they are exquisite works of art with that vintage feel we all love so much.
I love that each is unique, her work a piece of delicate art that seems to tell a sweet little story of the character living inside. They have an almost fairy tale quality to them, illuminated little stories under glass! Thank you so much Pink for telling me about these, and Amy your lights are really great and if I had a little shop, I’d sell them in a second!
Also readers, Amy is looking for a little feedback about her creations, if you’d take a moment to leave some, that would really be helpful to her.

These little lights are absolutely endearing. I love them! I love the way it looks as if the sailor is under a city street light. Happy creating!

Those are amazing! They remind me a little bit of assemblage artist Joseph Cornell. So great!

Wow, I can’t believe these are just for fun! Pleeeze make some more and sell them. Even if they’re numbered, limited items. These are really unique. And I see so much “stuff” all the time. This is really special.

Oh!! Amy, you are amazing! I can admire this little lamp for an entire afternoon! Just imagine what the little child’s life is like… If you can ship more of your wonderful creation to Canada, I have a friend there who collects things and ship them back to Taiwan to sell every 3 months. Your lamps definitely sell!!!

Thanks so much to everyone for your kind words! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your feedback. I am currently a bit out of touch on vacation in Maine but will be back to lampmaking the middle of August. I have a couple of lamps awaiting completion at home. I will keep you posted! Thanks Holly for the great feature, You wouldn’t believe the emails and inquiries. Thank you thank you everyone. Amy

All The Best is right-Amy’s jewelry (and all of her art)is exquisite! She doesn’t settle for less, and it shows in her work. Keep it coming, Amy!
