    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.

    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.
