I have been working hard on a lot of different crafts which is why I have been so absent from my blog. This is a taste of what I have been doing.
Clothes Pin Chandelier
At first glance did you know what it was made of? Honestly. While my husband and I were at Austin City Limits this year we saw a 3 tier chandelier like this. I have been wanting a chandelier for the back wall of my house and my husband said, "we can make something like that, no problem." This was the perfect solution because I wanted something a little different and rustic. So when we returned we headed to Lowes and Home Depot to collect supplies. The cross bracing is plumbing pipes. Chicken wire gives it its shape and then you go to town putting the clothes pins in the empty squares. If I get enough interest I'll post some more pictures so you can see up close exactly how this was done.
At night I love to sit and stare at the chandelier as though its the Christmas tree. The clothes pins create an illusion of wood shingles and as the light shines through it projects some incredible shapes on the walls.
Hello, I happened to stumble across your blog through a google search. If you are referring to the chandelier that was hanging in the catering tent, it was actually designed and built by my girlfiend and I. It's really amazing to see we inspired someone to build one of their own!
