GLOBE SCONCE

After searching for affordable and elegant wall sconces with no luck I decided to make them myself. Took a little more cash than I expected to develop the prototype and ran into a few issues but pleased with the final results. Notice how the corner wall sconce has a silver half moon shape on the globe. Since the silver crown bulb only protects from a 90 degree approach I taped the globe to determine the correct coverage when approaching from a sharper angle and then spray painted it with a metallic silver to match the bulb. Ordered the parts from grandbrass.com

Partnered up with KASI and created a series of textiles. Check them out at www.kasistudio.com and www.kasistudio.etsy.com. Below are some of my pieces – rifts on familiar themes.

Truck Tarp Fence

Fence made from custom white truck tarps and 10′ galvanized steel posts. Each tarp wraps around two posts and is corseted along the back to create a taut privacy fence, overlapping by 2′.

In order to provide more rigidity we filled the posts with concrete. The posts are deflecting due to tension and is causing the tarps to sag a little along the top. Two good solutions are to buy stiffer steel posts or to cross brace the existing posts.
