Step 2Colour in the Stained Glass pattern
Using coloured permanent or OHP markers carefully colour in the design, making sure to leave the Coke parts white. Of course you don't have to do the Coke logo, you could write someone's name to personalise it, or copy another one of Tiffany's famous lamp designs.
Don't worry if the colouring in is a bit streaky, real stained glass looks just like that, it is never an even colour at all.
The photo shows the back of the lampshade. you'll notice that this logo looks slightly different to the finished one. When i drew out the front logo I didn't leave quite enough space for a second complete one so I squashed up the logo on the back slightly, by taking out the dash between Coca and Cola.
I took this photo to show the colouring stage after I had already outlined the logo in black on the front. Anyway, this gives you a good idea of how naff it starts out looking. It's only when you line it in in the next step that it starts to look cool.
Lastly when leaving the white err on the side of more rather than less. the black line will take up quite a bit of space at this scale so you need more white than you would think which means that the letter have to be a bit chunkier than they are in reality. Also remember that the original wasn't perfect, it was made from scraps of glass left over from Tiffany's window projects. that's what makes it look so natural and each one so original.
