Another shot of the Two Looking More Like Shades
On Friday I tackled the tricky job of making up my designs into actual lampshades. I had put off doing them because I was sure they would end in disaster. I'm rather pleased with how they have turned out for my first attempts. I had ordered the kits to do them off the Internet and when they arrived I carefully measured the length of stiffener they provided in order to set up my Photoshop document.I then had to estimate how much of this was overlap. As the double sided tape they provided was 1cm wide I presumed that this was the overlap. WRONG!. It was actually nearer to 3cm and despite leaving some margin for error I have lost a little of each design. At least I know for next time if ever I am crazy enough to repeat this exercise. | 
I don't think these photos do these lampshades justice! They are even more impressive in real life!
ReplyDeleteWell Done on another fabulous creation!
