That's awesome. My sister and i got a kit to make a pineapple like that once. It was so difficult, but it came our amazingly. thanks for sparing that with us!
Wow that lamp is awesome. The artist has some other neat pieces as well. The lamp reminds me of those things you hang from the ceiling at parties. I wonder what kind of paper it's made out of, durable and nonflammable?
I want one of these! That is such an impressive piece of art to have. I was in a gallery/store in New Hampshire where I saw lampshades made of photographs. They were beautifully sewn together at the edges but the same questions come up - nonflammable? Thanks for posting!
