I came accross Autumn's post on Design Dump this week about her DIY deer head and had to give it a try. The template suggests using foam core but I lost my patience with my exacto knife and gave up opting for poster board instead (foam core defintely looks better if you have some time).

Spring is in the air (my sinuses are well aware).Time for some spring yellow. You'll remember I found this thrift store lamp for $5.00 along with this other lamp. The shade is all wrong, I know. I'm having a hard time bringing myself to buy a new one. Lamp shades are expensive! I'm considering cutting this one down a few inches and adding ribbon to the top and bottom to hide any flaws.
