Home made lamp shade

Homemade lampshade...

using Wilmotts Wonders designed spoonflower fabric.

I'm new to blogging so hope I haven't made any major faux pas in this... 

I wanted a way to post images of what I'd made with my spoonflower fabric on my spoonflower account and saw you can add images from blogs, so I decided I'd start a blog showing all the things I've been making. I'm going to start with my lampshade because that's what I made with my fabric and it means I can link the images to my account.

I bought a 45cm lamp shade kid from ebay and used my fabric from spoonflower. 

The fabric I designed was to match curtains we already have, which were made with Laura Ashley fabric. I was unsure whether I wanted green or blue to be the petal colour and so I made two designs and ordered the swatches from spoonflower.  Really easy to do and it's a great website for either creating your own designs or purchasing designs other people have created and uploaded. They also do great competitions, but I've gone off on a tangent, back to the lampshade and the swatches...

This is the blue cascading petals design, which I liked but decided that the green being dominant would suit the colour scheme of our bedroom better.
