Behind the Scenes: Crafting a New Shape from Inspiration Part 2

Last week I mentioned how I was inspired by a new shape from a luxury hotel I visited.

This week you see me make the new shape

.

It’s also an unusual pattern. This is Designers Guild Floreal fabric

The full video of me making this will be launched on 28th here https://youtu.be/IVrA5qEsfvo

Why Lampshade Seams Must Be Hidden for Perfect Design

I made a video about the lampshade maker’s practice of rescuing lampshades from their embarrassment by turning their seams to the back whenever we are out.

The video shows what I do when I discover lampshades with their seams facing forward in a posh hotel. It also shows how I realised how and why the seams were turned outward. This discovery led to a new challenge for my lampshade making in the future.
