What a nice website! Her etsy shop shows a lot of shades but all of them are angular, not circular. I have the feeling circular is more tricky. But one thing I found useful is that some of her lampshades use linen or homespun. These might be a good choice of fabric as they would allow light to flow.
What about using fusible web to applique your mallards onto a lighter fabric before covering the shade? That might allow light to flow through also.
