The shade is absolutely gorgeous! 
It really is breath-taking and will go so well with the lamp, 
once I get it painted. I will try and send you a photo.

The shades arrived safely today. They look great and I'll send you pictures 
when the sconces are finished. I will need more shades in the future and 
I will contact you when the time comes. Can you size and shape a shade 
from photos accompanied by measurements? (Yes indeed )

Nan, The shade arrived just as you said and in excellent condition.  
It couldn't be better and fits perfectly.  My husband's comment was "nice job".  
I could tell that he really liked it.  It even looks better than the original.  
I'm so glad that I found you on the internet.  

Many thanks..........Deanna Murray

Good afternoon Nan,

Sorry I did not contact you sooner.....
The lamp shade arrived late afternoon on Monday Aug 10th (09).
My first response was admiration for your work.
I must admit when I first saw it I was apprehensive about the color (silver). Just expected it to be lighter.
However, when we attached it to the bronze 1920s bridge floor lamp the color was absolutely perfect.
Looks like that is the way it was meant to be.
The whole thing has added a new dimension of elegance to the reading area in our bedroom.
With heartfelt gratitude for the efficient manner in which you handled my purchase....great communication,
speedy service, excellent packing and most of all a spectacular work of art.
Many thanks.
Be assured I will highly recommend you to anyone looking for a special mica lamp shade.

Enjoy your evening.

Many thanks,

Hi Nan,
Just wanted to let you know that we received the lampshade in good order.
It really makes the lamp - thanks for the great customer service!
Cheers,
Karen

 

 

Hi Nan !
The Check will be mailed to you tomorrow.
Thanks again. Everyone has favorable comments on the two shades you made for us.
Good Night,
Bruce

 

Nan,
 It arrived about an hour ago and it fits perfectly.
Good thing that you kept it to 5” as it wouldn’t have fit otherwise! 
Can’t wait to hang it up on the porch and bask in the mellow glow. 
Thanks again,
 Paul

 

 

GREAT communication. Mica Shade is fabulous!!
Very honest seller.
Very highly recommend seller and her Mica Shades.

Nan,

Wanted to let you know that the shade arrived and looks wonderful on my old lamp.
Many thanks,

The shade came Christmas Eve and is perfect. Thanks so much!

Dear Nan,
     I just wanted to say "Happy Holidays" to you. I appreciate your
excellent work - all of the shades you've made enhance my home and therefore
my life. Thanks.

Best, Joshua D

 

Dear Nan,
     Hello, this is Joshua D. The cylinders arrived by UPS today in
perfect condition. They fit fine and look wonderful. On Tuesday,
I'll send you another money order for the next shade. Thanks.

Best, Joshua D.

Nan,
Just wanted to let you know that the shade arrived last Tuesday. It is
beautiful!!!!! The quality of your work is wonderful and it fits in so well
with the rest of our decor. Do you build the entire shade, including
all the metalwork yourself? ( Yes, I do All the Metal Work...Handmade Spider, Hand cut Brasses, Hand flow the Lead seam...I don't use Any Machines to make any of my shades.)
It is truly a work of art!  I think I will have to keep my eyes out for another bridge lamp base just so I can get another one
of your shades. Thanks again, and by the way you did a great packing job too!

Jan

 

Hi Nan,
The shade arrived safe and sound this past Friday. I love it. It goes so well the floor lamp I have.
I had a wonderful experience and will be sure and let my friends know if they are ever looking for that “one and only shade” to get in touch with you. I have a couple more lamps I would like shades for so will keep you in mind.
Thank you again,
Pat

 

Hi Nan.. just received my square fitter bell shade. Looks great! Thanks again, Can't wait to see your proposition for my old shade.

I'm sitting here with Prentiss and we're admiring your shade WOW - we just love it! Nan I thank u so v v much. Its just beautiful. WOWEEE WOW and the length really is perfect!
Muchas muchas gracias!

  My gut feeling is that you will create beautiful custom shades or use ones that you already have created that will fit perfectly on my lamps.  I prefer when working with artists whose work I trust to let them do their thing.  I have never been disappointed.  Shall I send you some $ as a deposit?  Please let me know.  Nan, I'm so happy you are creating these shades.  Is it possible for you to e-mail pics of your ideas?  whatever works for you, please let me know.

 

Hello Nan,
I regret that you have chosen to stop selling on eBay. I hope you will reconsider some day and in the meantime, I offer my best wishes for your selling in other venues.

Regards,

(A Good Man   :o)

 

I think I must be losing my mind. I came across your shades one day last
week, and briefly looked at them and thought they were fantastic. Then the
two next days I could not find hide nor hare of you anywhere - I literally
spent hours looking, my husband even opened up my temporary internet files
and I searched through any photo I could get, but you had disappeared! I
knew I had seen a neat mica shade for $85 and I tried every google search
and nada, nothing, nil!! So I gave up.

Anyway, I have never had a bridge lamp before, and we just moved and I have
the perfect spot for one. I have been searching for about a month and
finally found a base in my price range and I just happened to get it this
afternoon. It is great with a ship on the top. I can't believe that you have
a mica shade with a ship on it! It would be perfect for my lamp, except I
really like a couple of the others better. The one I fell in love with was
on some site, (of course, I don't know where I was, or I would have been
able to find you ) I believe the design I saw was the Deco Design 2, that is
shown on your past sales at ebay. (Did you have a bad ebay experience? I
haven't bought anything off of ebay for about 4 years.)
I also love Flower #2!!!

Could you let me know how much shipping would be from NY to Spokane Wa.

 Thanks, I'm so glad that I was able to find you !

 Jan


Oh wow, I can't believe that you got the payment already. Thanks for letting me know!
Jan

 

 

Hi Nan, received panels today and they are perfect. thanks for everything.

Hello from Lightworks!  I'm completely out of your lovely mica shades and would like to place an order.  When I was on ebay, I noticed you had two great new designs for hex bridge lamp shades:  Uno Hex Deco Design 1 and 2.  I really like those.  Could you give me a price for bridge shades in those designs?  I also need some plain dark amber hex design bridge shades and maybe one in a natural amber and one in silver mica.  I'm thinking I'll get 1 Navajo Design, as well.  I also need a table lamp shade for a small deco table lamp with 2 sockets at the top.  I'll need something that is wide enough to accommodate the spread of those two sockets.  I'm thinking something in an oval or perhaps a rectangle.  Do you have any suggestions and prices?  Once I hear from you, I'll write out a more complete order.  Looks like things are going really well for you.  I'm so glad.
 
Regards,

Hi Nan,
Hey, the shade arrived along with the money order.
You did a fantastic job and should be very proud!
We already assembled the lamp and have it in our living room - it looks absolutely perfect.
My wife is thrilled as the whole thing was a surprise gift for her. She couldn't be more pleased.
Thank you, too, for the refund on the shipping. It was very much appreciated.
I hope we can do business, again, sometime and I will keep your new address.
All the best to you, Nan.
Thanks, again, from a very satisfied customer. 
Best regards,
Paul

 

My shade is gorgeous.

Thanks Nan. 
Loved the 10pt. Looks nice on our lamp.
Take Care,

Nan,

The types of instruments I build are electric guitars. You can do a Google search under Bill Antel or Bill Antel guitars. I build high end customs and vintage restorations. I have done work for Rolling Stones, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Los Lobos, Michael Jackson band. and so on. It's hard to remember them all.
I have a love hate relationship with my ear, I can tell what kind of wood people are using and sometimes what kind of glue and finish.

You have the talent, you should know how it is. 
The people I work for are famous,  not me.
I have worked hard to perfect my wood working skills and the way I hear things.
Same with you, While the hexagon shades are very nice.  The thing that impresses me about your shades, you took it one step further and bent the sides. The shades with bent sides are really nice because they are unique. One saying I have always liked is " you have to know the rules before you break the rules" meaning learn the basics the add you own touch to it. You have a gift of being able to make beautiful shades, your work as well as mine will out live us both and somebody will always enjoy them. You are very talented and I am lucky to have your shades. Bill

 

Nan,

I'll send the cashier's check out tomorrow.  Thank you...

Hello Nan,
 
Just a note to let you know that the shade and hardware arrived this morning and is a beautiful compliment to the Bridge Lamp that we have. Brenda and I are very pleased with our purchase. I have attached a picture of the hardware and shade installed on our lamp I couldn't wait to put it all together. Many Thanks.

Introduction : Arts & Crafts Redefined - My Mica Shade Designs Are EXCLUSIVE. While I do make a few Standard Mica Shade Shapes & Custom Cylinders, I Invented Special Bent Mica Shades a few years ago at my NYM Arts Studio here in New York specifically to rescue YOUR old lamp bases. I design every shade you see in my listings. I make every shade by hand. My fabrication technique is totally unique - The Heavy Lead Bead Over Copper Foiled Curved Mica Panels is My Unique Contribution to Lighting History, and gives me the Honor of being THE ONLY Mica Shade Artist in America Today. I work in 3 kinds of Amber Mica (Dark Mottled Amber, Light Amber & Natural Amber (with Black Flecks) , and Silver Mica, usually with an applied design. When considering a purchase, be mindful of the considerable amount of time and physical pain endured (bent panel shades) to bring this finished piece to you. My shades are indeed rare. You will see one of my shades in the  Library of the Woodrow Wilson House in Baltimore, MD.
