Attention: Small budgets call for creative measures.Not sure if you're into recycling...but I had to show you this! I call it extreme recycling for lighting!
Tyler Velten, an architecture student at Yale who designed and created this chandelier is defintely creative. I think we can all agree that he thinks outside the box as far as materials are concerned! His material---60 used plastic grocery bags. How did he do it? He draped the bags over five 11-watt bulbs...using a wire-mesh basket around each bulb (to keep the chandelier from creating a disaster, of course).
I'm curious...what do you think of his masterpiece?

WOW! I think I'll skip his personal look! But he gets an A for creativeness!
ReplyDeleteI think it is neat but scares me a bit with plastic and heat so close together. I would HATE to dust that thing.
ReplyDeleteOh I know! I'm curious to see what the chandelier looks like on.
