Working on a New Lamp

Those of you who know me personally 'in real life' or have followed my former blog (Now is Wow) will know that one of the things I do is make lamps out of old windows: Window Lamps.

The Dream House

The last window lamp I made (earlier this year) was the Dream House. Like most, if not all of the lamps, it was interactive. It was an illuminated receptacle for the dreams of many people here and abroad, raised awareness for a dream home (in progress) for Veronica and her children and was eventually spontaneously dismantled ... ending with everyone's dreams being planted in the Dream Tree ceremony. I feel that the dreams which were planted have already started to grow ... I'm sure even in ways that none of us may yet fully see or comprehend.

I woke up one morning a few weeks ago and felt strongly that I must work on a particular new lamp. I have already started on it 'behind the scenes' over the past week or two. It will be a very different kind of lamp ... definitely interactive, very personal and perhaps somewhat challenging, based on the kind of 'window' I will be using. At first I didn't really know how or where to begin ... but, as with all 'window lamps', I simply dived in and went with the flow ... knowing only that the process is inevitable.

Stay tuned.
