This is my project for January 2014. It is Tiffany's 18" Clematis Lampshade. What's special about this lampshade is that there are no repeats to the pattern. Most of Tiffany's reproduction lampshades (through the use of the Odyssey system), have pattern repeats. This is one of the very few that do not. It's also one that L.C. Tiffany designed himself. Hence to me as an artist, it's much more special and very interesting to make and assembly.
Here are some pictures. I have started this lamp in mid-December and hoping to finish it by the first week of February.
Choosing the glass: I've decided that I want to make this in the same vein as Dr. Grotepass' White Clematis:
18" clematis - Grotepass.
Here, I have some of my glass selected. I want to make it predominantly white steaky clematis with a soft dark background. Although I have ideas for the borders, I haven't yet decided.
Love your glass selection. What did you use? I really love the pink and purple!
