Cat Lamp Shade

For Industrial Design (Alternate Media), at Sheridan College, I made a lamp shade.

 

 

The assignment was to use sheets of mylar and design a hanging lamp shade for someone much older or much younger than us. My design was inspired by my niece, who loves cats. A prototype was made out of craft paper. 

My initial idea was to cover it with small squares of toilet paper, to simulate fur. But when I got to covering about 80% of the cat, I decided that the toilet paper was obscuring the clean lines of my design, so I removed it all.
