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.
