This was a rainy day thing i did about a month ago, because my lampshade was really boring! It took about an hour to draw the design on in pencil and then go over it in fabric paint. Then I painted it with ink (that was the funnest part!). It glows different colours when it lights up because the inks are transparent. Before: After:
hey thanks for all the nice comments everyone! lol well i did draw it on first in pencil, so i didn't go straight ahead with the inks... but i think tracing or copying it would've just really complicated it further so yep, i guess it was freehand.
that's awesome, you've given me inspiration I might try doing something simalar with an old lampshade when i move into my halls of residence, just to brighten it up a bit
