Hand Printed Lampshade "Swallow and Bamboo"

Hand Printed Linocut onto Japanese gold and silver fleck Washi paper. This design is carved into traditional Artist lino ,repeat printed and left to dry for several days.

This beautiful and delicate paper takes the detail of my prints very well and with the light shining through show all the fibres of the paper.

The gold and silver flecks add to the overall design especially when the light is off. Hand painted with Acrylic inks usually Teal ( green ) sometimes a slight variation occurs.

Inspired by our nest of swallows that hatch every year. I managed to photograph them just as they fledged. They sat in our bamboo until they became confident enough to fly free.

Backed with fire retardant lampshade maker PVC and available in Drum or Oval shape. 30 cm approx 27/28 cm high. Please specify ceiling or lamp fitting.
