It's No VanGogh

Sunflowers from our garden inspired this design and incorporating it around the gentle curves of a ginger jar lamp was the process, along with shading.  By the time it was finished, the lampshade needed a more dramatic flair - masked sunflower leaves were spray painted inside so when the masking was removed, they were illuminated.  And a little sculpted towhee found his was atop the finial.
