Update 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s where I’m at right now — I’m about to sand the clay, attach the leaves, and paint it! I probably won’t have time to do it for this class, but in the future I’d like to get some fake moss or stuff from Michael’s to make a little garden at the base of the lamp. I’ve covered the base of the lamp in clay and smoothed out the transition between petals and clay, but these photos don’t show it because they’re a bit old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About to cut the petals! Had to adjust their shape to be more flush with one another along the base, otherwise there would be a large gap in between each petal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First off, I was able to test out heating up and bending some acrylic (thanks Kat for letting me use your scrap pieces to test with!) and it worked really well! The only thing is that when the acrylic isn\u2019t in front of something light (like the white background), it looks orange rather than pink. I\u2019m going to see if I can find lighter pink acrylic that isn\u2019t as fluorescent to see if that would help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was also able to procure a cheap, bendy, desk lamp from Savers \u2014 I removed the plastic shade from it and used a saw to cut the excess part of the shade off so I\u2019m just left with the attachment piece. Now I\u2019m designing the flower petals and getting ready to purchase acrylic. These are the initial rough sketches of petals \u2014 once i decide on one, I\u2019ll cut out the number that I want and test it out before cutting any acrylic. I also have a little piece (which will be clay and resemble a leaf) to put on top of the base of each petal, to hide the connection between lamp and petal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, here are some leaf options and base stem leaves! I\u2019m going to cover the whole thing in clay and paint it \u2014 the leaves will likely be made out of clay too. I\u2019m going to get some epoxy sculpt, since I won\u2019t be able to bake the lamp (was going to use air dry clay, but a friend recommended this instead \u2014 she reminded me that air dry clay cracks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question<\/strong>: What should I do with the base? It\u2019s just a metal ring right now\u2026 I\u2019m going to cover it in epoxy sculpt and paint it green as well, but I\u2019d like to make it blend in more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
