I have chose to create a lampshade as I think that it compliments my other household interiors and it also portrays my design in another few. Overall this has been successful and I am pleased with the finial outcome. At the beginning I imagined using a old fashioned lampshade but after seeing my final print, I though that my prints would look more effective within a contemporary style display.
Step 1 - I have painted the base of the lamp from a fuchsia to white, I choose do this because I felt that the fuchsia against the rest of my work looked to tacky, the white brings a clean and fresh feel to my exhibition.
Step 2 - After the paint has dried, I have detached the shade from the base, and use wallpaper to create my pattern. I have done this by rolling the lamp across the paper and marking it with a pencil.
Step 3 - I have then added an extra inch on so that the material can wrap around the top a secure tightly.
Step 4- When this is done you can then cut it out and trace it onto your fabric, then you need to cut the fabric out neatly.
Step 5 - Using spray mount I have sprayed the shade, spraying the shade and not the fabric will make it more steady to attach your fabric. I have used the spray mount safely outside so that none of the fumes are effecting anyone else.
Step 6 - I have then lined my lamp and fabric up, I then rolled the shade on to the fabric, folding one edge over to create a seam that will leave a nice tidy finish.
Step 7 - the last few touches I did was making your that all my edges around the top were securely stuck down you might need to use a little extra spray mount.
