Sylvia created this lovely lamp by covering a straight sided vase with Lutradur and then standing it on a separate base fitted with an LED light.

For this project Sylvia chose Lutradur 130, which she painted with Daler Rowney Artist Acrylic Middle Grey. Each of the four layers were painted with a light wash then distressed with a heat gun. Each distressed edge was then painted with a stronger mix of the grey.

The final bottom layer was embroidered using DMC Perle, with DMC Stranded being used to embroider and create the small french knots on the layer above.

Sylvia made the 3D poppies by colouring white silk with acrylic paint, which she then stiffened with a conservation PVA glue. Once dry, Sylvia cut two different size circles to create each of the 45 poppies.

If you would like to learn more about making lampshades out of Lutradur, please don’t forget Sylvia will be sharing her knowledge and expertise at her Lutradur Tea Light Workshop on 30th May.
