The grid will cut down on pieces but maybe the iris would look better without a grid. Anyone got an opinion?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22636277-114086108554565666?l=irislamp.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>glassglobehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16903692499353739971noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22636277.post-1140261083184682792006-02-18T02:52:00.000-08:002006-02-18T04:23:30.706-08:00Because some lamp makers want a pattern instead of coming up with one themselves - my idea was to draw a pattern on the lamp mold that I have listed at eBay. That way bidders and visitors could message me what they might want drawn and I would draw those patterns on the lamp mold - if they wanted me to.<br /><br />I guess (as usual) I might not have been as clear as I could have been - and no one ask for a design - so I drew this iris that I’ve had in mind. I use the computer to draw with and I am posting the pictures of the iris lamp at this blog.<br /><br />I probably will use different shapes of lamps with this iris as a common theme. I am posting the drawing now and later photos of how I make the patterns.<br /><br />Iris drawing <a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px;
