One Iris Lamp Idea


I projected the iris drawing on a computer model of a 22 inch full dome mold. The grid will cut down on pieces but maybe the iris would look better without a grid. Anyone got an opinion?

Iris Lamp Pattern

Because 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.

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.

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.
