Rabbit Light Redux



                                                       LIGHTS!

Stamped steel leaves -sourced online from King Architectural Metals
 
Rabbit Light


Oh my.......2 posts within the week.... Will wonders never cease. This is today's obsession....an old idea revisited. I came up with the above light fixture by attaching steel stampings to wire nursery baskets. The shadows they cast are amazing! This is the first one I fabricated 3 or 4 years ago.
 Today I revisited a large shade started last winter. This one incorporates a used metal tree root basket that's bent  and rusted in a really cool way. I'll post when it's finished.

.....Need to find a better solution for the top and chain.

Packaging Pinboard.... Options, Materials and Ephemeral Ideas


This post is a haphazard compilation of pictures and materials that MAY lead in a new direction for my Etsy store 'branding'. I use the term loosely as it implies a deliberate and thoughtful editing process that I never fully commit to. I'm always pulling threads out of the air and they don't always belong to the same sweater. I like the nautical vibe that's popping up in some of my pieces. I like the random squid and whale graphic I bought as a digital image. I like the dip dyed silk ribbon-both process and product. So there you go.....a pin board of potential.

Cool Graphic.....Whale Loves Squid? Stamped on dip dyed cotton?
