(http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=28247&forum=20&start=330#586399) That gave me an idea, to kinda sorta maybe go with my Tiki theme (that being "stuff I got for next-to-nothing") which is to dredge up old National Geographic maps and old nautical charts to make lampshades therefrom. I'll experiment with these over the weekend, and if successful, post pix. (I think gluing paper to things is within my set of DIY skills). Hang tight.
