“I play my records again and

them I feel that I am brought 
face to face with the artists 
who render the selections—the 
voices and the subtle tones and 
overtones of their instruments 
are so natural.”

The next process is the painting of the shade. Water 
color paints are used and if a delicate background is 
required, they may be painted over the entire design 
first. In the case of a dark background, it should be 
filled in around the design very carefully 
Making Paper Shades 
(Continued from page 104) 
Glue is applied to this and the edges 
of the shade are attached to it by 
means of little clips to hold it in place 
while the glue is drying. Then one or 
two tacks with needle and thread are 
made to insure the shade being held 
firmly. 
This is the barest outline of the pro¬ 
cess which may be as simple or involved 
as the design chosen. 
Color and Black 
There are all sorts of interesting 
points about the fine art of lamp shade 
making. One in regard to the color is 
a question of putting a wash of warm 
color on the inside, which will shed a 
mellow glow, or the design may be 
touched up on the wrong side so that 
it is brought out when the light shines 
through it. 
If a black background is desired, in¬ 
finite patience is required to go over 
and over the white paper, using an 
electric bulb beneath it while working 
so as to insure the opaque effect of the 
black paint.
