Lampshades

First pic is my paper folded lampshade.This lamp is made up of translucent paper circles folded into triangles and glued onto handmade paper. When the lamp is switched on it creates a lovely pattern of all the joins and folds.

Second pic is my bamboo lampshade made from old bamboo steamers. I wedged in polypropylene between the steamers and gives off a lovely low light.

I love lampshades. The house I used to live in last year had beautiful white walls and drop pendant lighting in each room. I was able to go to town making lovely paper and timber lampshades in each room. When I moved last year I sadly moved into a house with downlighting. What are people thinking, they are such bloody eyesores.
