Industrial Lighting

I really am loving industrial decor.  Especially lighting fixtures.  I am working on a couple of hanging lamps for my art studio.  They are almost done.  I just need to figure out how they are going to be wired into my garage ceiling.

The first one that I did is a chandelier.  The top is a garbage can lid.  Dangling from it are four glass jars (different sizes and shapes), a tin can, and another metal light cover.  If I can ever get it wired into my garage then I will post pictures.

The second one I took a piece of wood I had laying around and drilled five holes into it.  I then painted it white and drew flowers around each hole with the hole being the center of the flowers.  I bought clear bulbs that come to a point.  They are inserted into the middles of the flowers and hang down as the stamens of the flowers.

The third light fixture I made I actually finished (with Don's help).  It's a table lamp and I have it in my Etsy store.  The base is made of wood pieces that I glued together, painted white, and then Zentangled a design on.  The middle of the lamp is a copper pipe with some washi tape around a narrow part, and copper wire wrapped loosely around it.  I have a white ceramic socket and handmade a very organic looking copper wire shade.
