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 Lamp

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.
