My Shop is open and ALL downloadable Digital Prints are 10$
After shutting down in late June 2019,
I did not anticipate staying closed all of 2020,
But like many other artists working out of a home studio,
Which suddenly became a virtual home school,
the priority has been a juxtaposition.
We think that we are symbiotic in that
We each work better if we see each other working,
So back to work I go,
Because that way,
When school is out each day,
That way I can be done in my studio also.
I’d like to set Goal for this year:
get my studio looking the way I thought it would look In December 2019
But now I have had way too much time to redesign that, so
I suppose I want it to look more like a 2021 version.
And much more functional than i ever though it could be.
My lamp wall needs a lot more space, so,
Rework and add new rods from the top of the ceiling
And rehang all the support frames for all my Tramp Lamps
Redo the finished lamp- photo wall next to the lamp storage wall,
Hanger posters and old art in the studio walls,
Add more goofy lights in my studio
And to make more Artwork
paint, and create all sorts of oddlings
of all the silly stuff I have collected over the years.
I don’t know which I will start on first,
but I’m ready to do get into my studio
The best thing to do is build up an inventory
for the day I am ready to relaunch
a physical version of my shop again.
I am comfortable thinking that will be as sooner
Rather than it was, say a little less than a year ago.
I have redesigned my Website:
https://tramplamps.com
It includes a vast Photographic Library of my Lamp Archive
from 2003-Until Present day that, I hope, is much easier
and more pleasing for someone to scroll through than the former Archives
of +1300 Hand Made Lamps.
Also on the new website, you can find A Gallery of my Original Artwork:
https://tramplamps.com/photos
This image collection (linked above) will hopefully serve as a reference guide
to any of you who are perhaps looking for a particular Painting in print form
that you would like to purchase as a large scale digital download.
I am happy to help make that happen for you.
Right now, getting my artwork out to you in an affordable form is something that I want to make happen for you, but I want it to be done safety, and as easily as I can, and this way, you know you are getting it from the artist herself, which should be a fun and cool thing, right?
When will I sell physical items again?
I will begin listing and sending out Hand Made Tramp Lamps, Physical Prints, small original Paintings, and other items that once were listed in my shop to you when It is safe for you to receive them from me.
If you feel you need or want to inquire about anything from how my artistic process is coming along, or what I am working on, or how my daily creative processes are going or not going, for yourself and for me, please feel free to send me a message.
I will always do my absolute best to reply to you.

About Tramp Lamps:
I crafted my first Tramp Lamp in 2003. I knew it was something unique and had great potential for me creatively. I researched the idea thoroughly to be certain I was not copying someone else's process or concept.* Once I was certain that nothing like it had been made before, I proceeded with the development and launched my website with a small collection of lamps that were all one of a kind. They sold out within the first 2 weeks.
As you are reading this, I've made well over 1400 unique Lamps. You can many of the lamps I made and sold over the years on the new photos page of my redesigned website gallery here:
https://tramplamps.com/photos
I have had the good fortune to be endorsed by founders of major lingerie companies, as well as complemented by the Heiress of a legendary American undergarment empire that was named after her when she was just a baby.
PLEASE, KEEP IT UNIQUE.
If you see anyone else making anything that resembles my Tramp Lamps in any way, please let them know about www.TrampLamps.com
Even after all these years, I still love finding antique, Vintage, and used garments to alter, illuminate, and decorate for lighting to sell all over the Earth. I really hope that If you were to find one of my creations perfect for your decor, that you would feel the same way.
I love making TRAMP LAMPS and I love making art.
This is my full time job; I make it, I pack it, and I stand in line at the post to ship it.
I want you to love it & to be happy with it.
Shipping Information:
*The time between the printing of all international and domestic shipping labels and when it is 1st scanned by a courier are not simultaneous. Please keep this in mind when receiving my shipping notices through Etsy and tracking info on 3rd party websites such as fedex.com.
~ Remember, when you purchase from my shop, you are supporting me as an Artist and a person, just like you. There are no employees, and there is no Tramp Lamps machine, it is and has always been just Me. This is my full-time job & how I support myself.
I thank you so very much!
xoxo

5 out of 5 starsThis was a great experience - Kelly was easy to work with and was very patient and forthcoming with all of my requests for this custom project. She even threw in some of her awesome artwork, too! My friend was so excited and thrilled to receive this Wonder Woman lamp for her birthday! I struggled with a good way to wrap it, and ended up settling for a Wonder Woman cape draped around it, which I think worked very well (if not over-themed, ha!). Thank you so much, Kelly - you’re awesome!

Kelly Kerrigan Hodge
Owner, Designer
Mixed Media Artist from Nashville. I make Lamps, Paint in acrylics, tinker with found objects, repurpose the purposeless, and listen to a lot of Music.
Shop policies
Please visit my site to find out all about these unique creations.
Each Tramp Lamp :
-Is Handmade from Used or Vintage clothing, therefore imperfections in the fabric are natural.
- Is One of a kind.
-Is Made for Indoor use Only.
-Are hanging Lamps: Made to be displayed by their included Padded hanger.
-Comes with a Bulb and 6 foot click switch cord both supplied by Westinghouse.
- New LED and CFL Replacement bulbs are great alternatives for Tramp Lamps and can be purchased at your local lighting retailer. Not all *LED and *CFL bulbs work with the cords provided, so please take this under advisement. I suggest contacting me before a bulb for the cord I provide.
** I do not provide LED or CFL bulbs with all standard purchases at this time. But I am making the transition to these bulbs permanently through my distribution supplier at Westinghouse. They are so much more expensive than the ones I've been using, but they really are the right way to go for the lamps.
* *If you actually read all of this before you made a lamp purchase, please say so in the buyers notes on your invoice and I will send your an assortment of bulbs including a LED bulb for your new Tramp Lamp!

I do not want anything but a completely Positive Feedback score from each customer. Therefore I will do what I can to make sure you get the lamp you desire. We are in this together and I want to make you happy.
Payment
You must complete your orders through Etsy to receive your awesome cool stuff. This is how transactions work. It's all part of the part of the process in completing your order through Etsy. Your browser may be redirected to PayPal if you have to connect your PayPal to Etsy, if you use PayPal with this website. Read the official Etsy payment FAQ. Yes, do this. It's cool, That is probably what is supposed to happen.
Remember also :
I am not Etsy, I'm just an artist who uses their services to sell my silly creations and I never see your personal payment info.
If you need to make specific payment arrangements with me, send me a conversation so we can discuss the matter further and perhaps make a private listing for the item, thereby making a payment plan.
Neither you nor I want to have problems with any business dealings; not here on Etsy .com or anywhere we make purchases. I want the best possible experience each time I sell something to someone and I want you, the customer, to love what I make and to honor the creative exchange. This is why payment is always due at time of purchase.
I want nothing less than a great review from you when you receive my artwork. If you aren't able to give that to me, let me know immediately and I will do everything I can to fix it.
Shipping
I really like the new intergraded service that Etsy has for Fed Ex. usually ship at the beginning of the week. If you place an order on Friday- Sunday, your lamp will not be shipped until Monday or Tuesday of the following week. Most shipments arrive within 5 business days. +++FED EX WILL NOT DELIVER TO A PO BOX+++
For all non-Tramp Lamp items, I still use Etsy's delightful Shipping label system and standard USPS priority shipping services.
-International Lamp Orders are also shipped via United States Postal Service. I use priority mail with insurance. Each delivery destination is different, but for example, a lamp shipped to Canada usually arrives within 7 business days.
+++YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DUTIES AND CUSTOMS FEES+++ for more information on these fees, you can contact your local postal office. If they need specific box dimensions and weight in order to give you a proper quote, please contact me.
