Halloween craft: IKEA paper lamp + cadmium orange watercolor

Made with one 8ml tube of cadmium orange Cotman water colour ($6 $4.50 on sale), one 17¾" REGOLIT paper lampshade ($5), and one HEMMA lamp cord ($4). Took an hour or two, tops.

Now my only question is—should I draw a jack o'lantern face onto it or just leave it as a harvest moon?

It's pretty -- I say leave it as is so it can be used all year long.

No face on it.

How did you do the coloring -- dunk in solution? Paint with a brush? Spray with solution?

Too awesome!
