Brian's Lamp Shade Project

First of all, I hate torch lighting. I am not sure quite when it became ubiquitous, but whenever that was I started to hate it. It's faux-modern look really bothers me and I don't think torch lamps really have any place in a well-decorated (non-medieval) home.

My project started with one of these (purchased for me during move-in).

I later found two matching lamp shades in the trash. From then on, it became a project to decorate them.
Before:

I chose a simple nature scene of birch trees and a fox and created stencils in Illustrator in 15 mins or so.

From there it was just a matter of printing them on manilla folders (or cardstock if you have access to it).
Materials:

Then I got around to cutting out each of the elements (which were treated as individual stencils. If I did it again, the scene would be laid out already).

The final result is as follows!

(Notice how the lamp shade is a bit beat up...I am working on a second one which is less marred for a more ambitious design..hopefully including mastodons.)
