Botanicals 20cm drum lampshade

A beautiful 20cm drum lampshade featuring an array of grasses and hedgerow botanicals. The plants are arranged around the bottom of the lampshade, as if they are all growing and swaying in the breeze. Plants used include a dandelion clock, with the seeds flying into the wind.

This shade has been designed using a cyanotype process, where a solution is painted onto the fabric and the plants are placed onto the organic cotton. Where the botanicals are, the fabric remains pale and the fabric exposed to the sun turns blue. It is a magical process, with each handmade item being completely unique.

The lampshade looks different when the bulb is turned on, with light coming through the pale areas. The texture of the organic cotton can also be seen, resulting in a beautiful shade. There are 2 small dark spots on the fabric. This is part of the cyanotype process but is noted for transparency.

The lampshade measures 20cm diameter and 18cm tall.

The lamp base is not included.
