Aww… she just makes me want to give her a kiss on her little cute face. She seems like she has changed so much already…I think I see a little more of Brave in her face. Can't wait to see more polaroids & I'm glad that you are continuing it. 🙂
I missed so many of last year's Polaroid Tuesdays due to the fact that I joined really late in the year. I am so looking forward to seeing all 52 this year. Especially if they are of your beautiful daughters.
I shared in this post how how I liked this light fixture and asked if anyone knew the designer. Someone kindly shared it was called the Koushi Pendant, so I set off in search of it. Evidently, it was made by Mark Eden Schooley, but I couldn't find where it could be purchased, but that specific one I liked was by Nelson Sepulveda for Aye Illuminate. Apparently, both artists are friends, one uses wire and the other bamboo. I contacted Aye Illuminate for the cost of the light, and they directed me to two shops in Santa Monica. I called them for availability and cost, and they said they would get back to me, but they never got back to me. I tried one more time, and still never heard back, so what did I set off to do?! Make my own.
I liked both the wire and bamboo one, but wasn't sure how to get bamboo all bendy, nor had the patience since I was itching to put something in this space quickly. I took trips to the hardware and craft store to come see what materials I could find to make one of them work. I ended up making mine with flat, copper wire strips and it took some tweaking to get it rounded. For the cover, I had some cheesecloth in my fabric stash, and I used that to cover the frame. I used the light I had from the previous hanging light. Mine isn't as nice as the designers, but what I really love about the light is how airy and ethereal it looks, so I think I got pretty close.
In my research about the lamp, I came across Bodie and Fou and the lamp they made inspired by the Koushi Lamp. The outcome of their creation is just as gorgeous as the original. Here's another pin of that dreamy bamboo lamp. While, I would have loved to have the real deal, this made by me one works well too. I love seeing it hanging in our homeschooling space (more to share about our space soon)!
Yippe! I'm so glad to see you are continuing your polaroid project! I can see it morphing into a Chronicle book one day. 🙂
Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year!
Tenaya

glad to see the 52 weeks back up!
(I may try to do a photo of the week…I've been following a few 365 projects, but yikes! I can't commit to that!)
SOOOOOO COOOOL!
The only way I could love this photo more is if it were my daughter in my own boogie chair!
She is so precious, Ruby! I want to babysit your kids!
Aww… she just makes me want to give her a kiss on her little cute face. She seems like she has changed so much already…I think I see a little more of Brave in her face. Can't wait to see more polaroids & I'm glad that you are continuing it. 🙂
My little one had that much hair too! Happy to see Polaroid Tuesday 🙂
