Lovely! I want one.

I love a good lamp-thrown wall pattern but I think the aggressiveness of this one might drive me bonkers.

Is this made the same way as the DIY hemp twine pendant - with a balloon and spray adhesive? I still have that one on my to-try list.

Very pretty!!

I'm inclined to agree with EC - so many different patterns on the wall might make me dizzy.

But the concept is great - perhaps made with an old lace tablecloth to tone it down a bit?

i think it looks really nice though agree with EC that the shadow pattern might be a bit much. maybe if there were other primary light sources so it wasn't quite as forceful. it is very pretty though!

Totally awesome. A lower wattage or more diffuse bulb might make the patterns more subtle. I personally love it.

That is lovely, though the pattern looks a bit strong when cast on the walls/ceiling at night though I can't tell if it's the photography, bulb or the fact that everything else is off. Perhaps a dimmer switch and a lower watt bulb would do the trick.

Crazy awesome! I lovvvvve it.

If anyone wants instructions, Its been on ravelry since 2009.
