The result should be two curved lines that form an arc. You have to be super careful when doing this though to get an accurate result.<br /><br />Otherwise the technique for construction should be the same.<br /><br />Hope that helps!<br /><br />Lara.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866886848733190371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15003681.post-11965140510853933572009-08-26T07:37:56.409+10:002009-08-26T07:37:56.409+10:00I was wondering if you would happen to have a tuto...I was wondering if you would happen to have a tutorial for the kind of lampshade where the bottom is bigger around than the top.
