Oooh love the note on matte medium! A project on my list is to paint the sad cheap white blackout/roman shades going into my son's room...I read lots of suggestions to mix fabric softener or fabric medium, but I imagine matte medium would help in the areas with some pattern/detail. Thanks for sharing!
I am so glad you posted about this! I had wanted to paint a lampshade and tried. However, it was linen. I would’ve loved to have tried what you did. My paint bled into the fabric, and it didn’t turn out great. It was fortunately a lampshade I had thrifted.
This is great! The matte medium is a genius idea - I don’t have any paper shades at home, so I was wondering what I could do with the inexpensive linen ones I have.
I also love Tess Newell’s work, inspired by antique French china patterns and Swedish folk art.

I think you could also try clear gesso!

I think clear gesso would also work. And, yes, Tess's work is great!! Thank you!
I had no idea that this was a trend. Frankly, I love the idea so I googled "lampshades" and I see that Walmart has some inexpensive ones. Thank you!!
Oh great! Thank you!
Extraordinary and inquisitive creativity.
Thank you, kindly!
