ANOTHER LAMPSHADE

I had some multi-thread silk that I used for the warp of my latest lampshade.  For the weft I used a combination of reclaimed fabrics, light-weight cotton, silks, and rayon.  Some of these were old clothing that I cut into strips.

The completed lampshade set on a lamp.
And here with the warmth of the light bulb shining through

Using the metal fram of an old lampshade for the 'loom' provides an interesting and sturdy base for weaving.

Really nice. I enlarged the photo and love the natural colors and textures.
