It's a nice job Vic but I can't help thinking it looks a bit, well, there's no other word for it, phallic!? I man those knots at the bottom do look a bit like testes ... Perhaps it's the lighting. :drunked:

If you make the shade in the video that peter posted, wouldn't the heat, humidity affect it and make it warp out of shape?

There's very little heat at the sides, heat rises and with the bottom and top open there will be a throughput of air, with the hot stuff going out of the top. If Vic tries for a sexy ambience by throwing a pair of his Y-fronts over the top to dim the light then there may be some warping going on:thumbs:
