Pretty much any very regular ground should work--you wouldn't even

"Someday" I might fiddle around with moire patterns with more complex
grounds, which I prefer to work, anyway.
Mmm... It wouldn't have to be a lamp-shade to show off the moire effect
of two layers made on different angles; any light source would do.
Single-panel window decorations would do very nicely, without giving
you a 4-yr disgust of any particular ground :)
I think the real "trick" in those lamp panels are the back layers,
since those are the ones which aren't straightforward, but angled, yet
have to fit in the same space; you have intimated as much in your
description of the project.
If anyone else explores along similar lines, I'd love to see the
results!
Any chance you would submit an article to the IOLI Bulletin on the lamp
project, and provide a pattern for (at least) one "skewed" back-panel
to get others started on thinking "that way"?
Yeah, I know it's shameless begging but what else can a BL-editor do,
if she wants to fill the Bulletin with exciting patterns, so that many
and many are tempted to subscribe? I "hit" people for (pattern/article)
donations every time they stick their designing necks out :)
PS I don't think two panels of different grounds would give quite the
same effect as two panels of the same ground, with one panel "tilted".
I've seen some lace structures where you -- sort-of -- saw through two
entirely different planes at once and they looked messy rather than
intriguing/enticing to me, unlike your lamp.
