The first lampshade I made was fit only to be placed in the garbage, but the second shade looked pretty good. The third shade looked kind of amazing. It had lush velvet fabric printed with illustrated peacocks, chocolate-brown trim, and gold, beaded fringe along the bottom. When illuminated, the light sparkled through the gold glass beads, refracting onto a nearby wall. Huh, I thought. I wonder if other people would like these?
