Hello again! I figured since yesterday I posted a DIY light fixture, that now would be as good a time as any to touch up our knowledge of some wiring tips and tricks. Wiring up lamps & lights is one of those things that always intimidated me, but now thanks to the internet & actually trying it a few times, I'm no longer scared! Still though, when dealing with electricity it's always good to proceed with caution & get an expert if things don't seem right. Otherwise, It's fairly straightforward. One of the most helpful posts I've seen was over at
The Ambitious Procrastinator, where they give a step by step on wiring up a set of decanter lights.
Aren't those things awesome?! Maybe I should just do a huge cluster of those in our kitchen, or maybe that
Mason Jar Chandelier from a little bit ago. So many choices! Maybe I'll start collecting decanters just in case. Hop over to
The Ambitious Procrastinator for the full scoop on not only wiring up those beauties, but how they made them in the first place.
As for what I've been up to, things are getting crazy hectic with the moving, but I've had a few spare moments here and there to play with some new string art ideas.
I love that blue elephant! I had actually done a red one prior, then someone wrote me asking if I could do blue. Of course I can! The "home" tablet was a really fun one, and has been on my mind for a while. Not only the aspect of filling in the negative space vs. the letters, but finally tackling
cursive. I think it came out pretty good, and would work with any word. The modern ones are still my favorite, and that set of 3 was a custom order I was
thrilled to do. I can't get enough of those circles lately.
If you are interested in a string art tablet, I'm still making them, but if you need them before Christmas get in touch with me ASAP. Things get SO crazy during the holidays! Here's a
link to my etsy shop to get started.
Make it a good day!
