Crafting with Daylight Lamps

January 20th, 2009

Despite the cold weather outside, we’re busy and back in action at Daylight Lamps. It’s already buzzing with activity as we get into 2009. Those first few days back to work can be difficult though.  I find that the best way to get rid of that sluggish ‘back to work’ feeling is to light up my space with the natural light I get from my Daylight lamps which energise me into my routine, especially first thing in the morning! Even if the weather’s cold and grey outside, you can achieve a super, natural light in your home or workspace - keeping the blues away!

I have been designing recently which is very exciting. I am creating a new tapestry collection - my first! My Daylight lamp proved it’s worth throughtout my designing process so far in determining the colours I am using especially. I don’t know what I would have donw ithout my Daylight lamp - my hours of work would definitely have been shortened due to the lack of daylight outside - and therefore probably my inspiration and motivation too. It’s been very exciting but hard work packed with loads of worry to get things right but all will be revealed soon I hope! I find that a good walk with my dogs clears the mind and cleanses it for a new day. Then I have my Daylight lamp to thank for helping me by allowing me to work as my inspiraition takes me whenever I want - day or night. I don’t just see a bunch of green hanks of wool I see all the very different shades with my Daylight lamp allowing me to choose the best shades for my designs. And what’s more, the natural light reduces my eyestrain from staring at small details and very similar shades of the same colour. I able to work for longer periods of time with the regular use of Daylight products.

I have been able to get to the stage to show my printers what I have designed. That’s where I am up to. I’ll keep you posted! So don’t strain your eyes what ever you are doing - use a Daylight lamp.

Happy crafting
