Chandeliers, Part II

The other day I posted about chandeliers, unusual chandeliers, sold in mainstream catalogues.  Somehow I missed this Pottery Barn submission.  Check it out above.  Any one of us that consider ourselves "alternative artists" could and would have this in our art rooms.  Clips hod anything one could want to display such as this collection of ephemera.  Pottery Barn shows this second use of the same clip chandelier system for the holidays. It would be fun for a birthday or anniversary with old photos.  I kinda like it, but I dont' think I would like 24/7 in my dining room.

I turned onto a little traveled, wooded road today to get home from errands and was confronted with a gaggle of geese numbering well over 100 dawdling in the middle of the road. They just looked at me when I drove near, never batting an eyelash.  Do geese have eyelashes?  I don't know, but I am sure you understand.  I had to wait 10 minutes until they decided to move en masse to the side of the road.  I had plenty of time to get a good photo for you, except I did not have my camera with me.  Bummer.  You are all creative.  Just use your imagination.  Here I will help:  autumn colored leaves on the heavily wooded trees surrounding me and the geese....dappled sunshine peeking through those leaves, the light through the dust of the aging leaves casting a golden haze.  Lovely.

I am slowly getting the items we found on our two road trips into my Small Studio Etsy shop. The latest includes three wonderful antique photo albums.  Lately I have seen the pages from this type of album used for garlands and also for the base for collage.  They are in varying degrees of distress, but definitely usable for art projects.  C'mon over and have a visit.

Ohhh, I like the idea of a chandelier that you can switch out the pieces from. If it's clips holding those papers then nothing says it has to be papers, IMAGINE FALL LEAVES!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, that just totally popped into my head a second a go, and in all caps like that too! But seriously while fall leaves might not last forever hanging up, for a few days, like a Thanksgiving meal etc, it could be cooooooool.
Also if you had cutlery with holes drilled through them or wires wrapped around you could probably clip them too..... Ok, just gave myself chills, BECAUSE, IF you used cutlery that you didn't want to permanently damage, and you wrapped a nice matching wire around them, you could have a cutlery chandelier after your fall leaf chandelier and then take the cutlery back down some day when you needed it again.

Were they Canadian geese? If so you should have run them over with your car! Those things are nothing but pests!

Very cool chandelier. It could be an always-changing artpiece.

I love all these pictures. I can't buy the Pottery Barn version, but I do use several fabric-less lampshades as chandeliers. for my daughter's college graduation, we hung one with double sided photos of her throughout her life - several dozen hung with ribbon. It was mostly fun to hunt up the pictures!
