Ok... So I am a painter( my actual profession is Set Design and Painting for the Theater)
Below is a Painting I did for my big brother. It is inspired by the short story The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The pattern was the hardest part I made the stencil twice out of cardboard before I wised up and cut it out of plastic! Over all I am happy this the piece.
Enjoy!

Really simple and Easy
WHAT YOU NEED
Film
Negatives
Copier
Transparency
Paper
Scissors
Mod
Podge

Lampshade
1. Find film negatives you like and lay them
out. I used multiple strips I found in a thrift store. But you can use your own
to make it personal!
2. Lay
out the images you like and Photocopy them into a JPEG
3. In
Photoshop( or any photo editing program) Copy and paste the images you like
into strips

Place strips into a Word Document and print on Overhead transparency paper( You
can get this at Staples or Office Depo)
5. Cut
out strips and Mod Podge onto a
flat Lampshade! I chose white but
you can choose any color you like. The darker the color the harder it is to see
the images!

dry I added gems around the top and bottom to give it a more finished look

About
About Me
So I am 23 years old. I am an artist. Mainly I do Scenic design for theater, but I love crafting, fashion, photography, pretty much all visual art.The Name
The name Red Sweater Rebellion comes from my grandmother Virginia Benedict. When she was in high school an overly strict headmistress banned the girls from wearing red tops as they “excited the boys” and were a distraction. My Grandmother never liking an unjust rule or an unchallenged authority arranged red sweater day where the entire female student body wore red sweaters to school. She was a woman of effortless glamour who taught all of her grandchildren to never settle and stand up for what’s right.
