Quilled Lampshade

I love working with and upcycling lampshades and am constantly changing the look of my table lamp with shades that I make. 
This is my last shade which I made from a planet poster 

I've been wanting to combine this hobby with quilling so when I got tired of it I decided to experiment - again! Here's what I came up with: 







I used the inside bits from my old ^ lampshade and created the 'new' shade with ivory card-stock that I had sitting around. The ‘window’ is waxed paper from my kitchen. I used the old shape to make sure the wax paper stayed curved. 









I also laid out the flower arrangements to my liking and to the size that the window was going to be. Then took pictures so I wouldn’t forget! (Yea I do that sometimes :) ) 



Feel free to leave your comments and check out my facebook page here to see how my shade has evolved over time.
