Chipmunk Hidden Creature Accent Lamp - nightlight, luminary, mood lighting, bedside lamp, silhouette, magic forest

What better way to say "I'm NUTS about you" than with this delightful chipmunk lamp? The chipmunk is "hidden" when the lamp is off, but shines clearly when it is on. The 4 inch by 10 inch size makes it perfect for small shelves, tables or vanities. It works beautifully as a nightlight or accent lamp. I can make the lamp in almost any color. Please send me a convo if you have a special request.

To make these lamps, I started with an original ink drawing of a chipmunk in the hollow of an oak tree with leaves and acorns. I transformed the drawing into a vinyl cutout inspired by paper cuts and cameos. I then attach the cutout to a heat and flame resistant liner and cover it with fine Japanese shoji paper. The shoji paper partially hides the chipmunk, trunk and leaves when the lamp is off and adds a lovely glow to the cutout areas when the lamp is on. The paper is made from renewable mulberry bark that is harvested without harming the trees. This type of paper has been valued for centuries in Japan because of the way it diffuses light. The lamp bases are made from hand cast and painted plaster with a metal fitting to hold the socket. They have small glass feet that provide clearance for the cord.

The electrical components have a North American 2 prong polarized plug and a roll switch. They are UL listed and Canada certified for 120 volts and up to a 40 watt bulb. I recommend using LED candelabra (E12) base bulbs (not included). If you need wiring for a different area of the world, please send me a convo.

To clean the lamp, simply dust the lamp with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, you can remove the light bulb and unclip the cord from the base in order to wipe out the inside of the lamp. Please do not use wet cleaners on the shoji paper as they may damage it.

The heat resistant plastic lining is upcycled. The mulberry paper is made from sustainably harvested bark. The vinyl and electrical components are new. The base is handmade from plaster, paint, metal and tile.
