Fancifully Cascading Flower Lamps & Screens (from recycled plastic water bottles)
Want to be inspired to do some eco-design?
I just came across this British artist, Michelle Brands. She turned plastic water and soda bottles into light catching flow, akin to a fabric, say. The bottles appear as very pleasing 3D flowers. I love this look particularly for a whimsical kitchen lamp, girl bedroom or a creative public place.
There is a freshness and clarity to Michelle’s designs of pendant lights, window screens and room dividers. Actually, these lamps are so gorgeous, I just have to try making these… Don’t you?
Water bottles have never been so beautiful!

Well, you will soon, as I’m making one!
I’ll feature it as a tutorial,
as I think it is really easy to make these,
for all level of craft skills.
Stay tuned
Definitely I would love to make one!! They’re gorgeous
That’s really awesome! I have bags and bags of plastic water bottles that I’ve been saving at work, and now I know how to use them.
Her web site shows some more detail on the home page. http://www.michellebrand.co.uk/
Cut the bottom off a few hundred water bottles, string them together with monofilament, and voila!
Yes, I agree you should make one. And then come back and show you how you did it. This is totally so interesting but I CRAVE a super duper real closeup pic and major details!
Thanks for linking it up to SNS!
