I just really, really love the look and feel of this pic. Polaroids are amazing, timeless and priceless. I can imagine right now the feeling the girls will have looking back over this photo in years to come!
It's official: Soul is my favourite. I just want to squeeze those chubby little cheeks every time you share a picture with us! Congratulations on such a fine brood of cuties 🙂
I've been clicking on all your side-bar links to see if I can figure out what Polaroid/instant camera(s) you use. Mind sharing? I am looking for something wonderful 🙂
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)!
How sweet!
cute little rascals!
