Photographer Paul from Espo Studio saw an oval-shaped lampshade he loved on Mad Men and set out to make his own version from scratch. Now, when I say 'from scratch', I really do mean it. Wanting to get the size and shape just so, he created his own lampshade rings from music wire by heating and soldering them into shape. The understated, modern look was finished off with a neutral linen fabric covering.

To create the custom lampshade rings, Paul had to bend the wire into shape by heating it with a blow torch and soldering in supporting joints.

The end result is something worthy of the effort. Paul's custom lampshade is truly one of a kind. He suspended the lampshade from the ceiling using a pendant lighting cord set.

My husband and I lost 1.1m worth of Bitcoins to a fake cryptocurrency investment platform. A few months back, we saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency to make huge profits from our investments. We contacted a broker online who was pretending to be an account manager for a forex trading firm, we invested a huge part of our retirement savings and business money into this platform not realizing it was all a sc^m to steal away our money. After weeks of trying to withdraw, this broker continued to request more money until we were broke and in debt, it felt as if we were losing our life. Fortunately for us, we saw an article about a recovery hacker called HACKER RODNEY CRYPTO TRACES AND RECOVERY , we were not in a hurry to contact them but we did some research about their services and found out they could help us recover our money from these scammers, we contacted Refund Policy and in a space of 72 hours, they were able to recover everything, this company did a thorough investigation with the information we provided them and ensured that every penny was returned to us, it felt so unreal how they were able to recover everything we have lost. We are truly grateful for the help of HACKER RODNEY CRYPTO TRACES AND RECOVERY home and we are putting this out there to everyone who needs their services.
