| Lighting |
||
| For the past 7 years, I have been dipping papers in raw bees wax. This gives the paper a water-resistant coating that is not only translucent but also romantic and aromatic. The honey smell is released when the shades or candle covers are gently warmed by a tea light or the appropriate wattage light bulb. Custom shades can eve have heirloom photos, pressed flowers and leaves or ferns. I have also collaborated with several lamp artists to create unique sculptural lighting.

| Wall Sconces Wall sconces can also hold collaged items, and be hard wired in to your home. See Katy Make a wall sconce from plant pulp to finished item on a new Show on HGTV called Crafting Coast to Coast this fall! |

Sculptural I hate to waste anything and find old rusty tools irresistible. Cylindrical paper shades give a "rusty rake"lamp a contempary look. |

| Candle Covers Candle covers -- created by wrapping a mason jar in handmade paper and dipped it in raw bees wax -- make a portable outdoor option that is aromatic and romantic. They can be printed or utilize collage elements. |
