About this piece
The fibre pattern in a lokta sheet is random and unrepeatable, so a lit shade throws a texture no manufactured material reproduces.
Use an LED bulb. The paper is not flammable in normal use but it is paper, and a hot filament bulb inside a closed shade is a bad idea regardless of material.
