I was wonder if i could beg a bit of help from some body on here that does photo shop or graphics or something. here's the deal-i'm deep cleaning/minorly(sp?) re-doing my room. and part of that is my lamp(i've got one of those really cool ones that you can put stuff inside). i've changed out the flowers, so know i have orchids, very pretty. we went to joanns yesterday and got a cheap(this is a good week to go, btw, almost everything is on sale!(and some of it isn't marked))plain white lamp shade. i'm going to decorate it with(i think)fabric paint. but i want a pattern to go off of. so i've looked around(done a yahoo search, too)and i can't find anything that's just right. what i'm looking for is swirly, vine-y kinda things with leaves and flowers and buds and stuff(if that's clear enough). what i was gonna do was print it out and put it inside the shade, hold the shade up to some light and trace with a pencil the pattern so when i get out the fabric paint i don't kill the shade. what i'm looking for is kinda like these only dainty(kinda)-
obviously it needs to be 'traceable' and it wouldn't need all the extra colors, just the out line in black. i have no idea how much work something like this is, so, errmm, not quite sure where i'm going here:whistling, just sorta, if it's a ton of work, don't bother:thumbup
ok, thanks for reading this, it's turned out to be a pretty long post:wiggle

ETA:all the graphics are from here
