On the upper left corner of your paper, design your lampshades Start by drawing a side elevation of the design's profile. Prepare a clean sheet of A3 paper by orientated to landscape & tape it down squarely onto a GOOD SQUARE EDGED DRAWING BOARD. This way, the drawing is of good size on A3 paper and easily converts to the larger scale for template creation. I usually draw so that one centimeter on the drawing equates to one inch on the finished lampshades!! You'll need A3 paper, a sharp hard pencil, a ruler that measures both centimeters & inches, a T-square, 45 degree set square, protractor and compass. With this method you can design stained glass of any spherical regular shape providing your drawing is very accurate and done with a sharp pencil.!!!! The object may have any number of panel sides and any number of layers you desire.
Please go through the instructions very carefully!! There is a lot to take in and if you miss understanding a step, confusion will set in and you'll not be able to proceed correctly.!! My technique of regular geometric design requires no calculation tables, math's or angle calculations. Designing them accurately can be painful when using maths tables to calculate lengths and angles. Your usual 3D items are lampshades, pots and terrariums. So learn, practice, test your ideas out, then try it again!ĭesigning 3 dimensional objects that have regular geometry. The point is, your imagination and skill are the only limits to your creative expression with this medium. It features LED lighting, it's intended use is as a night light.
#MATS WITH A STAINED GLASS DESIGN FREE#
The insect study below is an example of a modest free form 3 dimensional object. This table is effectively a one piece object. It is made with 3 vertical panels, braced on the bottom by 3 base panels and the elaborate top is soldered on. This one is now 25 years old and still going strong. The common objects are regular geometry lampshades and terrariums, but also consider jewelry boxes, specimen cases, candle holders, shelving, free form studies, even coffee tables.īelow is an example of a table. So many objects can be made in 3D, mainly with the copper foil technique.
