Paper Mache Bowls, Translucent Sconces, and a Tiny Box

Being more of a newspaper/cardboard/glue than a paste wireframe kinda guy, most of my projects are utilitarian. Here’s another look at my translucent sconces:

And here is another “practical” solution for my kitchen:

I absolutely love your sconces, and I totally get what you said about the whole facebook ‘friend’ thing. I stay off facebook. It’s nothing but a troublemaker from the word ‘go.’ :)

Anyway, I could not resist telling you how awesome the sconces are, and I really want to try something using your technique, Jonni’s and some other things that have been rolling around the back of my head: sort of a mixed media thing.

I followed the link from your friend, Jonni Good. She’s amazing, as well. You’re just a couple of inovators, aren’t you?

If you get a chance, check out some of the craft projects on my site, which is only a subdomain for now, as I am new there, and still testing the water. Check out Kitty Town! :)
It really has nothing to do with paper mache, but it is craft, if not insane craft. Kitty is pregnant so I wanted to build her a suspended sanctuary from the dogs and grandkids.

My site hasn’t got tutorials, just pics. I guess I could do tutorials, but nobody goes there, so why bother?

Again, I love yours and Jonni’s techniques.
Namaste!
