Blooot posted:Awesome Chandelier That's really amazing--are you an industrial designer, or just really creative and industrious? The shape of it reminds me of a sphere I made out of spring-steel a month ago.  Of course, mine turned into an All-Terrain Human-Hamster Sweater-ball  My current project? A set of three lamps that look like crystals made of stained glass.  So I started by making some paper crystal models out of bristol. There's about 6-7 different structures, but most have been disassembled to trace them onto the plexiglass, some of which you can see here. I had no idea the plexi was going to be such a pain to cut and work with.  Drew out some stained glass designs for each face.  Awful picture, but I dyed a ton of china silk, it's got a beautiful shine to it, and it takes dye really well. Except for the red! I had to over dye it three times to get that deep color (first bath, Acid Red, second, Golden Yellow, third, MX Scarlet treated as an acid dye)  Cut that poo poo out. A sharp xacto is my best friend.  Build some plexi-crystals!  Start gluing that poo poo on. One 3/4 finished, only 11 more to go. I want to make 3 lamps of 3-4 crystals each. Due in 2 weeks. Ugh.

Posted the making of, but never the finished lamp. Looks better lit up, but I just can't seem to take a good photo of that.
