Thanks for the cool comments H10 and swizz, skip that portion of the clip about can't get a hangover, non addictive, cheap and makes sex better is cinema gold. I have not seen that movie but will check it out. Big T here is the shade finished. I folded and cut watercolor paper, then thinned some Elmers glue and brushed it over the entire thing, adding a textured paper over the top. Next I varnished a red on to the whole thing and smashed flat, bent and soldered some 6 gauge copper wire for the frame. I use Trans Tint dyes for the coloring on all my tikis as it mixes with oil or water based paints and it is transparent so you see the wood grain. The blue on "Dewey" was added to Minwax spar urethane and took four coats to get it to pop. Another three coats of clear sealed the deal.
