I use leather for lampshades but here is an interesting story...

The company which i bought my laser (2nd hand-used for 1 week only) imports those lamps from Spain althought they had laser to make them their own !!!

I've been thinking of octagon shaped lamp shades, tapered, with laced joints, for thin wood and/or acrylic.
