Lamp
For this project, I used wire, brown paper bags, magazine, incense sticks, and mod podge to construct a lamp shade. The magazine strips have a theme of going green and the incense sticks add texture to the piece. I had some problems figuring out how to construct the shape of the shade. I used the top and bottom wire squares of an existing shade and used thick wire to construct the sides/ corners of my shade. I then glued brown paper bag to the wire so I'd have a way to more easily attatch the magazine strips. When the light is turned on, light still shines through the paper bag and magazine just enough to create a cool lighting effect. This project is also neat because my father actually made the lamp base when he was in school.
