Vintage Lamp...

I would dearly love to own a vintage oil lamp like this - one never knows when a storm will shut off our lights!

My original photo taken in Sherbrooke Village, Nova Scotia. 

"Blue Missive," "Lost and Found," and  "Antique Me" textures courtesy of Pixel Dust Photo Art - I used all 3 of these delightful textures!  Layer mask to each texture layer added to protect the glass reflection.

    Just beautiful!


    Of course I would be a nervous wreck that old lamp would burst into flames!

    The old oil lamp sure is vintage. Love the texture with the tear in it. Valerie

    Your choice of textures and editing perfectly enhance the innate beauty...and vintageness...of the lamp.

    Way to go using all 3 textures. They worked so well with this lamp image. So artistic. I like the torn piece in the wall paper too.

    Beautiful. I love old housewares like this. I have a little collection of miniature lamps but not a large one. Well, I have a modern large one, but not a real old vintage lamp.

    We had a couple of these when my kids were little and we were living in a small country village. The power went out often and I was always grateful for the oil lamps. Lovely editing and thanks for stirring some memories.

    I am lucky enough to own one quite like that, inherited from my grandparents! A beautiful photograph.

    My grandmother's old hurricane lamp is filled with a red oil. This photo reminds me of the time when it was used back in the day.
